State votes change abortion laws while Trump's future plans remain unclear

Recent voting results brought major changes to state-level abortion laws with seven states choosing to add reproductive rights into their state rules (including states like Montana Arizona Nevada and surprisingly Missouri)

The changes in Missouri made it the first state to remove a complete block on abortion which affects more than 1‚2M women in child-bearing years; this change shows how even conservative areas are re-thinking their position on this topic

The future of these new state rules isnt clear because Donald Trump – who takes office in Jan – might push for different federal-level rules: his past actions show he could make changes that would limit what states decided. Still the voting results show how different parts of America think about this issue now-a-days
