Ten states will vote on constitutional amendments regarding abortion rights this election, including battleground states Arizona and Nevada. NBC News' Liz Kreutz reports more on how the issue is motivating voters in Arizona. Center for Reproductive Rights President and CEO Nancy Northup joins Ana Cabrera to discuss.
NBC News projects that Florida has failed to enshrine protections for abortion access in the state constitution, essentially upholding the state’s six-week ban. Amendment 4 failed to reach 60% of the vote needed for the proposal to pass, NBC News projects. The ballot initiative faced intense resistance from the start from Republican lawmakers, as well as Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration.
Republican lawmakers also successfully pushed for revised language alongside the amendment that suggested a negative impact on state taxpayers, which Amendment 4 supporters called inaccurate and misleading. Three weeks out from Election Day, the DeSantis administration released a report accusing the ballot initiative organizers of using fraudulent signatures, and an anti-abortion group filed a lawsuit to get the measure removed based on that report.
