13 states that may have abortion referendums in 2024

Initiative 89 would amend the constitution of the state to assert that “The right to abortion is hereby recognized.”
An additional provision in the proposed constitutional amendment states that “Government shall not deny, impede, or discriminate against the exercise of that right, including prohibiting health insurance coverage for abortion.”
The group Coloradans For Protecting Reproductive Freedom, which is spearheading the initiative, announced on Facebook last week that it had “successfully turned in enough signatures to qualify for the ballot.” It clarified in a separate social media post that “Our campaign has turned in nearly DOUBLE the signatures needed to qualify for the November ballot.”
