Abortion On the Ballot: Where Voters Protected Preborn Children, and Where They Didn'tMontana voters passed Initiative 128, which expands the state's already liberal abortion law by allowing abortion up to birth.
The biggest victory for preborn children was in Florida, where voters did not meet the 60% margin needed to overturn the state's law protecting preborn children from abortion at around six weeks, instead upholding the safety and protection of those preborn lives. Voters in South Dakota also rejected a radical pro-abortion ballot measure that would have undone the state's law restricting abortion, while those in Nebraska rejected a measure that would have expanded the state's current law allowing abortion in the first trimester, to allowing it throughout pregnancy. However, protections for preborn human beings were stripped elsewhere, including a loss in Missouri that will repeal the state's near-total protections for preborn babies, and once again allow the tragic killing of countless preborn lives. Here's how abortion fared on the ballot: Arizona Arizona voters said yes to Proposition 139, which legalizes abortion through all nine months of pregnancy. The measure's passage will undo the current law protecting preborn children from abortion after 15 weeks. Colorado Colorado voters passed Amendment 79, which further solidifies the state's pro-abortion stance by enshrining the 'right' to abortion in the state's constitution. Florida Florida voters failed to pass Amendment 4, which would have undone the state's law protecting preborn children and allowed the killing of preborn children through all nine months of pregnancy. "Amendment 4 has been defeated in Florida! This victory will save tens of thousands of innocent human lives every year," said Live Action founder and president Lila Rose. "The abortion industry and its allies such as George Soros poured over $100 MILLION into a campaign to enshrine the killing of preborn babies through all nine months of pregnancy into Florida's constitution, outspending pro-life efforts by a wide margin. But the pro-abortion lobby's financial onslaught and the intense pro-abortion bias of Florida newsgroups couldn't defeat the resolve of Floridians to protect preborn children." Maryland Voters in Maryland approved Question 1, which enshrines abortion as a constitutional 'right.' Its passage, in the already pro-abortion state, will likely mean the repeal of important protections for minors, such as current parental involvement laws. Missouri Voters in Missouri chose to undo the state's pro-life protections with the passage of Amendment 3. The amendment will undo the state's law that had previously protected nearly all preborn children from abortion. Some groups have speculated as well that it may also impact transgender issues as related to minors. "This is not the result we wanted but despite being outspent by millions of dollars life won in the majority of Missouri counties. Our work to protect the safety of women and the dignity of life continues," said Stephanie Bell of Missouri Stands with Women. "Life supporters will not sit back and watch as Big Abortion works to dismantle all the health and safety protections put in place to protect women and babies. We will continue to fight and ultimately be victorious against the forces who see no value in life." Montana Montana voters passed Initiative 128, which expands the state's already liberal abortion law by allowing abortion up to birth. Nebraska Nebraska voters were faced with two abortion-related ballot measures this year: Initiative 439, which would have declared abortion a constitutional 'right' and allowed it through all nine months, and Initiative 434, which would leave the state's current 12-week abortion restrictions in place. Voters rejected 439, instead opting for Initiative 434 and its current protections for preborn children. Nevada Nevada voters overwhelmingly approved Question 6, which legalizes abortion through all nine months in the state, which currently allows abortion for any reason up to 22 weeks gestation. This year's passage does not mean the amendment will automatically take effect; per state law, it needs to pass another vote in 2026 before ratification. New York New York's voters said yes to Proposition 1, the Equal Rights Amendment. It makes abortion a constitutional 'right' in the already pro-abortion state by expanding the groups covered by the constitution's Equal Protection Clause to include "ethnicity, national origin, age, disability and sex—including sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes, reproductive health care and autonomy."

The state's voters overwhelmingly rejected Amendment G, which would have removed restrictions and allowed abortion through all nine months. Amarillo, Texas Voters in Amarillo defeated a ballot measure that would have designated it a "Sanctuary City for the Unborn." The measure would have solidified preborn protections by prohibiting elective abortions and abortion trafficking through city limits. San Francisco Voters approved Prop O, a pro-abortion ballot measure that uses taxpayer funds to expand abortion access while specifically targeting pregnancy resource centers that provide help and support to pregnant mothers and young families...
