US Presidential Ballot To Feature Abortion Referendums

This November, the US presidential election ballot will include state referendums on abortion rights following the Supreme Court's 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. This is the first presidential election since many states restricted access to abortion, potentially affecting millions. Key states like Arizona, Florida, and Missouri will vote alongside others, potentially redefining reproductive rights.
On November 5, the US presidential election will have a significant addition to its ballot—state referendums on abortion rights.

Following the Supreme Court's 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, over ten states are putting abortion-related amendments before their voters.

This momentous occasion marks the first presidential election since abortion access faced widespread restrictions across the US.

The outcome may redefine the reproductive rights landscape, potentially overturning abortion access restrictions affecting millions.

Key states include Arizona, Florida, Missouri, Nebraska, and South Dakota, alongside others like Colorado, Maryland, Montana, Nevada, and New York.

Each state aims to either secure or restrict abortion up to fetal viability.

This critical election could also mobilize voter participation, particularly for the Democrats, who see this as a pivotal issue.

Amidst this climate, abortion has emerged as a healthcare crisis, a sentiment echoed by Vice President Kamala Harris.
