Months after the Supreme Court removed constitutional protections for abortion, voters in several states moved to preserve access to the procedure.
Voters in California, Michigan and Vermont enshrined reproductive rights in their state constitutions, while Kentucky voters said no to a proposal that would have rejected abortion protections in the state constitution. Also coming up short was a Montana abortion-related referendum that raised the prospect of criminal charges for health care providers who provide abortions.
Since the end of Roe v. Wade, several states expanded abortion rights, while some sought to ban the practice outright or shorten the viability time. As of the beginning of November, more than 10 states banned abortion virtually in all cases, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research and policy organization that supports abortion rights.
