Idaho voters reject ballot measure on abortion, preserving the state’s ban, NBC News projects
What the coverage says
Voters in Missouri defeated a measure that would have restored an abortion ban just two years after previously legalizing abortion, as reported by NPR and the New York Times. The New York Times also reported that Republican lawmakers had asked voters to reverse course, while NPR noted the defeated measure was coupled with a ban on transgender care. Meanwhile, Idaho voters rejected a referendum regarding the state's abortion ban, according to the New York Times and NBC News. The New York Times reported that proponents of the Idaho initiative blamed the ban for a steep decline in obstetricians and gynecologists, whereas NBC News projected that the outcome preserves a ban that took effect after the 2022 Supreme Court ruling.
