End of Roe - the fight continues

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Where will abortion be on the ballot in the 2024 US election?
Ten states will vote on abortion in November, with most seeking to protect abortion up until fetal viability


... Maryland
Legislators, rather than citizens, initiated Maryland’s measure, which would amend the state constitution to confirm individuals’ “right to reproductive freedom, including but not limited to the ability to make and effectuate decisions to prevent, continue, or end the individual’s pregnancy”. Like Colorado, Maryland has become an abortion haven because it permits the procedure throughout pregnancy. It is also relatively close to the deep south, which is blanketed in bans.


... Montana
In the years since Roe fell, Montana courts and its Republican-dominated legislature have wrestled over abortion restrictions and whether the right to privacy embedded in Montana’s constitution includes the right to abortion. Abortion remains legal until viability in Montana, but the measure would amend the state constitution to explicitly include “a right to make and carry out decisions about one’s own pregnancy, including the right to abortion” up until viability. Providers could perform an abortion after viability to protect a patient’s life or health.

Nebraska
Nebraska, which bans abortion past 12 weeks of pregnancy, is the lone state with two competing ballot measures this November. One of the measures would enshrine the right to abortion up until viability into the state constitution, while the other would enshrine the current ban. If both measures pass, the measure that garners the most votes would take effect....
GoMarylandGo!
GoMontanaGo!
Go Nebraska women and allies!
Go women and allies in the other states!

5 red, 3 blue, 2 purple. Fingers crossed for coattails, at least in AZ and NV, maybe in FL, maybe in the MT Senate race.

Figures:
Infants died at higher rates after abortion bans in the US, research shows

In the year and a half following the Supreme Court Dobbs decision that revoked the federal right to an abortion, hundreds more infants died than expected in the United States, new research shows. The vast majority of those infants had congenital anomalies, or birth defects....
Then, there are all the infants with birth defects who didn't die but have and will have a diminished quality of life :( RWers hate babies
