Voters backed ballot initiatives on Tuesday to protect abortion access, while simultaneously striking down efforts by conservatives to restrict the practice.
"Democracy wasn’t on the ballot, but abortion was, and it seems that the democracy has spoken in favor of abortion," said Adrian Vermuele, a conservative legal scholar at Harvard University. Haris Alic is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital covering Congress.
In Michigan, voters passed a ballot initiative creating a right to abortion within the state's constitution. The initiative, which passed by roughly double digits, according to the Michigan Board of Elections, also strikes down a 1931 law that bans abortion.
