Tomorrow, November 3, voters in four states will weigh in on abortion.
- Missouri’s Amendment 3 would repeal the abortion rights amendment voters passed in 2024. It would ban most abortions, with exceptions for medical emergencies, fatal fetal anomalies, and rape or incest through 12 weeks.
- Nevada will hold its second required vote on an amendment that guarantees abortion until viability, and after viability to protect the mother’s life or health.
- Idaho’s Proposition 1 would create a right to abortion before viability, and after viability in certain cases. Idaho abortion activists have made doctor shortages a central argument. Planned Parenthood’s campaign page says Idaho “lost 35% of its OB-GYNs” and urges a yes vote “to bring health care providers back to Idaho.”
- Virginia already allows abortion for any reason through the second trimester. Under current law, a third-trimester abortion requires three physicians to certify that continuing the pregnancy would likely kill the mother or “substantially and irremediably impair” her health. Question 1 would cut that to one physician. It would also bar the state from prohibiting third-trimester abortions whenever a doctor finds a risk to the mother’s physical or mental health. Virginia isn’t restoring abortion access. It’s widening the loopholes for abortion in the third trimester.
In the final days before voting, the same misleading or straight false claims keep showing up. Here’s a quick guide to bring with you to the polls, with links to our full analyses.
