How the 10 Abortion Ballot Initiatives Fared in the 2024 Election

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : Abortion is allowed until fetal viability in New York.
50% : Abortion is currently legal until fetal viability in Montana, and the Montana Supreme Court ruled in 1999 that abortion is protected under the state constitution.
50% : The New York initiative didn't explicitly mention abortion, but was a broad equal rights amendment that included protections for reproductive healthcare, as well as factors like ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender identity.
44% : Abortion is already legal in the state until fetal viability -- or after that if necessary to protect the pregnant person's life or health, or if the fetus has a serious abnormality -- but, as with the initiative in Colorado, supporters have said that this amendment will prevent the possibility of state lawmakers restricting access in the future.
