"We advocate for unfettered access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare."

"Abortion is health care."

Democrats "trust women to make decisions about their own body."

"A woman's right to access safe abortion is a non-negotiable human right."

"Abortion should be legal and safe, with the caveat that I support the Hyde Amendment."

"I believe a decision to abort a child should be up to the women during the first three months of life."

"What we wanted to do is get it [abortion legislation] back to the states."

"I am pro-life. I wanna save as many babies as possible."

Where Do Candidates Stand on Abortion?

10 US states held referendum votes on abortion during the 2024 US election on Tuesday, seven of which voted to expand or retain abortion rights while three voted to uphold abortion restrictions.

Two of the seven pro-abortion votes were in Missouri, which overturned its previous total ban and codified the right to abortion up to fetal viability, and Arizona, which voted to overturn its previous 15-week ban and protect abortion up to viability.
