Voters in a record 10 states will decide whether to enshrine abortion rights in their state constitutions this fall. In Nebraska, voters face two measures: one favoring abortion rights and another that would ban abortion after the first trimester.

Supporters of abortion rights hope to continue their winning streak in both blue and red states, after a successful run of measures since the overturn of Roe v. Wade. Opponents have been working to keep these measures off the ballot or make them hard to pass.

How the measures would amend state constitutions

Of the abortion rights measures, most would recreate the standard set by Roe, which protected abortion until “viability” — the point at which a fetus could survive outside the uterus, or around 24 weeks of pregnancy.

In Nebraska, where two abortion ballot measures take opposite stances, state officials have said that the measure with the most supportive votes would take effect.

The New York proposal does not explicitly mention abortion, but proponents say it would prevent abortion restrictions by stopping discrimination based on pregnancy outcomes or reproductive health choices.

How the measures could change the legal landscape

Twenty-two states currently ban or restrict abortion, and the procedure is broadly legal in the rest of the country.

If every abortion rights measure is successful this fall, five states would see big changes in abortion access in the months after Election Day. Arizona, Florida, Missouri, Nebraska and South Dakota have existing bans and restrictions, and the ballot measures would make abortion broadly legal again.

South Dakota’s amendment would prevent abortion restrictions only in the first trimester, and the State Legislature is likely to pass new restrictions after that point.

In Colorado, Maryland, Montana and New York, abortion is already legal and winning measures would enshrine its status. Colorado’s measure would further expand abortion access by allowing the use of public funds to pay for the procedure.

If all of the measures fail, abortion laws in each state would be unchanged — at least for now. Legislatures in states like Arizona, Florida and Nebraska could restrict abortions further than they already do.

If the anti-abortion measure in Nebraska passes, it would enshrine restrictions after the first trimester, which is similar to the state’s current law.

What the polls say

A majority of U.S. adults say that abortion should be legal in all or most cases, according to recent national polling from the Pew Research Center. State-level polling of abortion attitudes is rarer, but a 2023 survey from the Public Religion Research Institute showed majority support for abortion rights in every state where the issue will be on the ballot this fall, except for South Dakota.

Polls that ask specifically about this year’s abortion rights ballot measures show broad support for the proposals, but experts say such polls should be interpreted with caution. Ballot measure language can be complex and confusing for the public and therefore difficult to poll. In addition, many of these polls are run by partisan groups that may have an agenda.

Still, polls from varied organizations reveal that a majority of people would support the abortion rights measures on the ballot in Arizona, Missouri, New York and South Dakota. But in Florida, where the abortion ballot measure must reach 60 percent support to pass, some polls have shown it falling short of that threshold.

Where voters have already backed abortion rights

Voters in seven states, including Republican-led Kentucky and Ohio, have sided with abortion rights supporters when voting on ballot measures since Roe was overturned in 2022.

The winning measures cemented abortion rights in California, Michigan and Vermont, and tossed out restrictions on the procedure in Ohio. Voters in Kansas, Kentucky and Montana rejected efforts to restrict abortion.

District Attorney Fani Willis is expected to defy a Georgia state senate subpoena for her testimony ahead of a hearing Friday, Fox News Digital has learned.

The Senate Special Committee on Investigations, chaired by Republican state Sen. Bill Cowsert, subpoenaed Willis to compel her testimony related to the committee’s investigation into allegations she misused taxpayer funds. 

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Cowsert said after Willis refused to testify voluntarily, the committee issued a subpoena, adding her legal counsel had indicated to the committee she would not be complying with the subpoena. 

“We think it’s unlikely that she will appear but disappointing that she considers herself above the law,” Cowert said.

If Willis does not appear at Friday’s hearing, the state Senate will seek to compel her attendance through a judicial order that will work its way through the court system the next few weeks. 

“We do have the authority to investigate and to issue subpoenas to compel testimony and the production of documents, and if tested in court, that will be validated,” Cowsert said. 

“She’ll be required to attend, and she’ll be required to produce certain requested documents. It may require a court order for her to obey them, but that’s where we’re headed.”

Friday’s hearing will feature a presentation from David Cook, the former Georgia secretary of the Senate, on the investigative powers of legislative bodies and the ability to subpoena. 

Legislative counsel Stuart Morelli will also testify on the committee’s legal authority to conduct investigations and to subpoena individuals to testify or to produce documents. 

The Republican-led committee was established in January by a resolution that passed by a 30-19 vote.

Willis, who is spearheading the sweeping prosection case against former President Trump, has come under scrutiny after she was accused in February of having an “improper” affair with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, whom she had hired to help prosecute the case.

A decision by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee not to disqualify her from the case is now on appeal, and that hearing is slated for December. 

The Georgia Senate committee has already held several hearings, including one featuring the testimony of a whistleblower who said she was fired after she raised concerns about Willis’ office’s alleged misuse of funds. 

Willis said in May she believes the committee has no authority to subpoena her and told a news reporter she “will not appear to anything that is unlawful.”

“I have not broken the law in any way,” Willis told reporters at a press conference in May. “I’m sorry folks get p—ed off that everyone gets treated equally.”

But Cowsert said the committee members are “all extremely confident that we’re acting within the constitutional and legislative authority of the state Senate.”

A representative for Willis did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. 

The hearing begins Friday at 10 a.m. ET.
