Adam Edelman is a politics reporter for NBC News.
After months of gathering signatures, filing petitions and navigating lawsuits, constitutional amendments that would protect or expand abortion rights are officially set to appear on the general election ballot in 10 states. Voters in the swing states , blue-leaning states and red-leaning states will have the ability to directly decide the future of abortion access this fall.
At the same time, the amendment would allow lawmakers and state officials to restrict or limit abortion rights in situations in which doing so “is for the limited purpose and has the limited effect of improving or maintaining the health of a person seeking care, is consistent with widely accepted clinical standards of practice and evidence-based medicine, and does not infringe on that person’s autonomous decision-making.” Missouri currently has one of the strictest abortion bans in the U.S.
