Ballot initiatives for reproductive rights

January 10, 2025

Ballot initiatives for reproductive rights_1199MAG.jpgMembers campaigned for reproductive rights related ballot measures in three of the 1199 regions. In Maryland, voters were persuaded to enshrine the right to abortion and other reproductive freedoms into the state’s constitution. A similar measure was passed in New York as part of the state’s Equal Rights Amendment. In Florida, the 60 per cent voting threshold was not cleared, to overturn the state’s current six-week ban but member campaigners came very close, convincing 57 percent of Floridians to vote "Yes on 4" to amend the state's constitution.
