Arizona and Missouri Legalize Abortion; New York Passes ERA

Amid devastating news in the election, there are some bright spots. Of the 10 states with abortion ballot questions, seven passed constitutional protections for reproductive rights, including Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nevada and New York.

Three states defeated abortion rights measures: South Dakota, Florida (which required 60 percent to pass) and Nebraska.

Voters in Amarillo, Texas, defeated a local ballot measure that would have designated Amarillo as a “sanctuary city for the unborn” and enact local regulations and restrictions on abortion.
