Abortion access referendums win in 7 out of 10 states but fail to boost Harris

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : The American Catholic bishops, one of the largest funders of anti-abortion efforts since Roe was overturned, spent far less this year, with the exception of Florida, where the state's bishops donated about $1 million to groups fighting the ballot initiative, making them one of the largest anti-abortion donors in that state. In South Dakota, where an abortion-rights effort also failed, the Sioux Falls Diocese donated $340,000 to two anti-abortion PACs in the final days before the election, a substantial sum in the sparsely populated state.
48% : Voters in Montana and Missouri backed Trump by substantial margins while also approving their abortion initiatives; Nevada and Arizona appear likely to follow suit, as Trump leads in ongoing vote counts.
47% : Abortion was on the ballot in 10 states this year, most of them requiring a "yes" vote to enshrine abortion rights.
46% : Both received a majority, but the latter received more votes, handing a victory to anti-abortion activists.
38% : It's going to turn out voters who vote for the initiative and then vote for Trump."
28% : The split votes spoiled a Harris campaign's strategy of linking Trump and Republicans in general to the erosion of abortion rights.
