WASHINGTON (OSV News) — Voters in Florida, Nebraska and South Dakota Nov. 5 rejected amendments to their state constitutions that would have codified abortion as a right, while other states, including Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Nevada and Missouri, did vote to codify such a right in their constitutions, on Election Day.

South Dakota likewise rejected a measure to codify abortion protections.
Ten states had 2024 ballot referenda considering abortion either directly or indirectly.
