Abortion Ballot Issues in 2024

Below are the ballot measures regarding abortion in the General Election of November 2024.

Arizona

PROPOSITION 139
Creates a fundamental right to abortion. Limits the state's ability to interfere with that right before fetal viability. After fetal viability, abortions are allowed when necessary to protect the life or health of the pregnant individual. Prohibits laws penalizing a person for assisting an individual obtaining an abortion.

Colorado

Amendment 79
Amendment 79 proposes amending the Colorado Constitution to make abortion a constitutional right in Colorado; and repeal the existing constitutional ban on state and local government funding for abortion services.

Florida

Amendment 4
No law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient's health, as determined by the patient's healthcare provider. This amendment does not change the Legislature's constitutional authority to require notification to a parent or guardian before a minor has an abortion.

Maryland

Question 1
The proposed amendment confers an individual's fundamental 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, and provides the State may not, directly or indirectly, deny, burden, or abridge the right unless justified by a compelling State interest achieved by the least restrictive means.

Missouri

Amendment 3

Montana

CONSTITUTIONAL INITIATIVE NO. 128 (CI-128)
CI-128 would amend the Montana Constitution to expressly provide a right to make and carry
out decisions about one’s own pregnancy, including the right to abortion. It would prohibit the government from denying or burdening the right to abortion before fetal viability. It would also prohibit the government from denying or burdening access to an abortion when a treating
healthcare professional determines it is medically indicated to protect the pregnant patient’s life
or health. CI-128 prevents the government from penalizing patients, healthcare providers, or
anyone who assists someone in exercising their right to make and carry out voluntary decisions
about their pregnancy.

Nebraska

Initiative Measure 434
The object of this petition is to amend the Nebraska Constitution to provide that except when a woman seeks an abortion necessitated
by a medical emergency or when the pregnancy results from sexual assault or
incest, unborn children shall be protected from abortion in the second and third trimesters.
Initiative Measure 439
The object of this petition is to amend the Nebraska Constitution to provide all persons the fundamental right to abortion without
interference from the state or its political subdivisions until fetal viability, which is
the point in pregnancy when, in the professional judgment of the patient's health
care practitioner, there is a significant likelihood of the fetus' sustained survival outside the uterus without the application of extraordinary medical measures; or when needed to protect the life or health of the pregnant patient.

Nevada

Question 6
This initiative, if approved by the voters, amends the Nevada Constitution to create a constitutional right to abortion.

New York

Proposal Number One
This proposal would protect against unequal treatment based on ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, and sex, including sexual orientation, gender identity and pregnancy. It also protects against unequal treatment based on reproductive healthcare and autonomy.

South Dakota

Constitutional Amendment G
This initiated amendment establishes a constitutional right to an abortion and provides a legal framework for the regulation of abortion. This framework would override existing laws and regulations concerning abortion.
