48% : The "Right To Reproductive Freedom with Protections for Health and Safety" petition, a citizens' petition for a ballot referendum, seeks to add a section to the Ohio Constitution that would create a right for every individual "to make and carry out one's own reproductive decisions," including abortion.
38% : In Kansas, voters in 2022 declined to amend the state constitution to outlaw abortion, while voters in Kentucky rejected a similar amendment to its constitution later that year.
