Voters supported the right to an abortion in midterm elections Tuesday after the reversal of Roe v. Wade earlier this year put the issue back in states’ hands.
In California, Michigan and Vermont, voters passed measures ensuring reproductive rights are codified in those states’ constitutions. In conservative Kentucky, voters rejected an anti-abortion measure that would have barred protecting the right to an abortion within the state constitution.
Montana voters decided on whether providers performing the procedures should face enhanced penalties. That vote had still not been called as of Wednesday morning.
