Abortion rights ballot initiatives will go before Colorado and South Dakota voters this November.
Voters in Colorado and South Dakota will have a say on abortion rights this fall after enough signatures were collected to put measures on ballots in both states. South Dakota voters will get a chance at direct democracy on the contentious issue in a conservative state where a trigger law banning nearly all abortions went into effect after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade.
Voters in seven other states have already approved abortion access in ballot measures, including four that wrote abortion rights into their constitution. Supporters of Colorado's ballot measure said they turned in more than 225,000 signatures, nearly double the required number of just over 124,000. Amending the state constitution will require the support of 55% of voters.
