How abortion measures fared on the ballot in the 2024 election

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : Abortion is legal in Montana up to fetal viability after the state supreme court recognized the right to abortion under its constitution.
51% : The proposal, known as the Equal Rights Amendment, adds ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, to that list, in addition to the reproductive rights-related language.
48% : Abortion is legal in Maryland, but voters approved a constitutional amendment enshrining reproductive rights in the state constitution by amending its Declaration of Rights, CBS News projected.
46% : Abortion is currently legal in Arizona within 15 weeks of pregnancy.
45% : Abortion is currently legal in Nebraska until 12 weeks of pregnancy.
41% : Abortion is currently banned in Missouri except when there is a "medical emergency," but voters approved Amendment 3, which amends the Missouri Constitution to unwind that ban.
39% : Known as Amendment 4, or the "Amendment to Limit Government Interference with Abortion," the measure would have overriden Florida's ban on abortion after six weeks and enshrined abortion rights into the state constitution.
39% : Abortion is currently banned in South Dakota, except when necessary to save the life of the mother, but Constitutional Amendment G would have overriden that near-total ban if approved by voters.
