Since the Supreme Court eliminated the national right to abortion in June, abortion policy has been sent back to the states. Now some of those states are letting voters decide directly how abortion should be regulated within their borders
Carolyn Cole—Los Angeles Times/Getty Imagesin June, abortion policy has been sent back to the states. Now some of those states are letting voters decide directly how abortion should be regulated within their borders.
Five other states—California, Michigan, Vermont, Kentucky, and Montana—have abortion ballot measures in November. Here’s what you need to know about their proposals.In California, voters will weigh in on Proposition 1, which would enshrine abortion rights in the state’s constitution. State Democratic leaders introduced the new language after a draft of the Supreme Court’s decision inleaked in May, and in June after the final decision, the Democrat-controlled state legislature approved putting the measure on the November ballot.
The effort behind this amendment started in the Vermont legislature in 2019. But the Vermont for Reproductive Liberty Ballot Committee, the group backing the proposal, says the Supreme Court’s decision raises the stakes. “Now that SCOTUS has struck down, state-level protections are vital to safeguarding access to reproductive health care,” the group said.Michigan is the third place where voters will decide whether to add protections for abortion rights to the state’s constitution.
