10 states vote on abortion laws: See which proposals won and lost in latest polls
Ten US states put abortion-related changes to vote in latest elections with mixed results. From Floridaʼs narrow miss to success in Arizona‚ the voting showed different approaches across the country
In recent elections ten states asked voters to decide on abortion-related laws‚ showing how this issue stays important for US politics. Vice President Kamala Harris supported these changes while Donald Trump spoke against them
The voting results showed a mixed picture across America: some states approved new rights while others kept strict rules. Arizona voters said yes to allow procedures up till 23-24 weeks; Floridaʼs proposal (which needed 60% to win) didnt make it through. Trump‚ who lives in Florida first seemed to support it but later changed his mind
Montana‚ Colorado and Nevada gave thumbs-up to protect these rights in their laws: Nevada will need another vote in 2026 to make it final. New York and Maryland also joined the yes-group making their rules stronger
- South Dakotaʼs try to change its very strict rules failed
- Nebraska had two different votes - kept its 12-week limit
- Missouri approved new freedoms
- Arizona replaced its 15-week rule with viability standard
These votes came after that big Supreme Court decision about 2 years ago which changed how states handle this issue. Some places (like Florida) now have early 6-week limits while others keep longer timeframes - it really depends where you live in America
The changes mean different things in each place: some just made existing rules stronger while others completely changed whats allowed. States like New York already had open rules; they just made them harder to change later
