Mixed results for abortion measures
ABC News has made a few new projections in abortion-related ballot measure campaigns. First, Montana's Initiative 128, which sought to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution, passed, 57% to 43%. However, Amendment G in South Dakota, which would have done the same thing, failed by a wide margin, 61% to 39%.
In addition, Nebraska's Initiative 434, to ban abortion after the first trimester, has passed 55% to 45%. A competing measure, Initiative 439, which would have protected abortion rights, is currently trailing 51% to 49%.
Overall, abortion-rights ballot measures have done pretty well tonight; seven of them passed. But it's not the perfect record that such measures enjoyed in 2022 and 2023.
