(Reuters) -Voters approved most of the referendums expanding the right to abortion in U.S. states on Tuesday, while Florida, Nebraska and South Dakota rejected such measures, giving anti-abortion advocates their first victories since the U.S. Supreme Court ended the constitutional right to the procedure in 2022.
A proposal to amend Florida's state constitution to guarantee abortion rights fell short of the 60% vote threshold needed to pass, Edison Research projected on Tuesday.
