Florida, South Dakota, and Nebraska have shown a heroic willingness to protect the unborn, and they should be applauded nationwide. Some of these pro-abortionchoice measures didn't even use the words "mother" or "women," let alone "baby," which shows what the pro-life movement was up against. Hopefully, more states will be encouraged to follow suit in the fight for life.
While a few states sadly failed to codify reproductive rights, it's important to recognize the majority of abortion ballots that were successful. Even the red state of Missouri chose to protect women's rights, which shows how much Americans care about this issue. The same would've also occurred in Florida had the Republican-led legislature not required aan unreasonable 60% threshold.
There is a 7% chance of a national abortion ban before 2030 under a Donald Trump presidency, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
