Popular support for abortion rights is stronger than expected in some red and purple states.
In Kansas, Kentucky and Montana, measures brought by abortion opponents to further restrict the procedure failed.
In Michigan, voters passed an initiative to overturn the state’s abortion ban.
This November, voters in Ohio will decide on an initiative to safeguard abortion rights, which polls show has wide support.
And campaigns are underway in South Dakota, Arizona, Missouri, and Florida to put other initiatives on the ballot in 2024.
