Voters in at least 10 states are expected todecide the fate of abortion rights in November with constitutional amendments on the ballot in a pivotal election year — including in several battleground states that will be key to deciding the presidential race and which party controls Congress.

Abortion rights advocates have reason to be hopeful: Since the Supreme Court’s decision to overturnRoe v. Wade in June 2022, every ballot measure that has sought to preserve or expand abortion access has been successful, while those that have sought to restrict abortion access have failed — even in states that skew conservative.
