7 states vote to protect abortion rights, 3 keep restrictions in place
Fox News
Ten states voted directly on abortion-related measures Tuesday, with abortion advocates claiming seven victories and three states voting to leave bans in place
Voters in Missouri cleared the way to undo the state's near-total ban, one of the nation’s tightest restrictions, with an amendment that would allow lawmakers to restrict abortions past the point of a fetus’ viability – usually considered after 21 weeks, although there is no exact defined time frame. Michael Dorgan is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
Abortion rights amendments also passed in Arizona, Colorado and Maryland and Montana, per The Associated Press. Montana voted to amend the state constitution to "expressly provide a right to make and carry out decisions about one’s own pregnancy, including the right to abortion."
