Midterms 2026: the right to abortion reinforced in several states, except in Idaho

In the U.S., abortion rights have become a divisive issue, leading Democrats to focus on economic concerns during midterm elections. Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade in 2022, thirteen states have enacted strict abortion bans. Even in states where abortion remains legal, debates continue, fueled by pro-choice and pro-life organizations. During the midterms, voters in Virginia and Nevada supported constitutional amendments to protect abortion rights, reflecting concerns over potential political shifts. Virginia stands out as the only Southern state not to ban abortion, making these results significant for advocates.
