Abortion is on the ballot in nine states and motivating voters across the US

WASHINGTON (AP) — Voters are getting a say on abortion policy in Tuesday’s election with ballot measures and elections to offices from president to local prosecutors. The issue has been in the political spotlight since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, ending a nationwide right to abortion and opening the door to bans that most GOP-controlled states are now enforcing. Florida, Arizona and seven other states are asking voters whether they want to enshrine a right to abortion in their state constitutions. In some states, passage would mean rolling back bans that are in place now.
