Arizona and Missouri to Determine Fate of Abortion Rights in November Ballot Measures 

HeadlineAug 14, 2024

Voters in Arizona and Missouri will decide in November the fate of two ballot measures that would enshrine abortion access in their state constitutions. Missouri’s amendment would reverse the state’s near-total ban on abortions, which went into effect after the Supreme Court’s ruling that gutted Roe v. Wade in 2022. Meanwhile, the Arizona measure would amend the state constitution to protect abortion rights up to 24 weeks of pregnancy. At least five other states, including Florida, Nevada and South Dakota, will vote on similar measures this November.
