Abortion was on the ballot in 10 states this year, bringing more changes to the patchwork of state abortion laws following the end of Roe v. Wade. Here's where abortion laws stand in each state.
Abortion rights were on the ballot in 10 states this year, bringing more changes to the patchwork of abortion laws in the U.S. following the end of Roe v. Wade.Abortion advocates prevailed on seven ballot measures in the Nov. 5 election and lost on three. The losses are the first on abortion rights ballot measures anywhere in the U.S. since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, proving that abortion opponents can win on ballot measures.
As of July 2022, abortion is illegal in most cases in Mississippi. The only exception is if the mother’s life is in danger or in cases of rape that have been reported to law enforcement. Missouri currently allows abortions only in cases of medical emergencies. There are no exceptions for rape or incest. On Nov. 5, Missouri voters approved a measure to enshrine abortion rights into the state constitution, positioning the state to undo its restrictive ban.
