(Reuters) -Abortion is on the ballot in 10 U.S. states in Tuesday's election, including battleground states that play critical roles in the presidential race and the fight for control of Congress.

The Democratic Party's presidential candidate, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, has sought to build support for the ballot measures, which each propose amending the state's constitution to enshrine a right to abortion. The Republican Party, led by former President Donald Trump, has opposed the measures, which follow the U.S. Supreme Court's 2022 ruling that abortion access was not a constitutional right.
