Center for Reproductive Rights: “Since the U.S. Supreme Court eliminated the federal constitutional right to abortion in its 2022 ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, states have become the battlegrounds for abortion rights. State courts are deciding whether and how their own constitutions protect abortion rights, some for the first time. Plus, voters are weighing in on ballot initiatives to amend their state constitutions to protect or deny reproductive rights.The Center for Reproductive Rights has developed a new digital tool, State Constitutions and Abortion Rights, showing the current status of abortion rights through state court constitutional decisions. View the tool here. With the new tool, users will be able to explore:

• A user-friendly state-by-state map showing abortion rulings by state high courts and the constitutional provisions and amendments serving as the basis of those decisions.
• State high court opinions from both before and since the Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs took away the constitutional right to abortion, updated as more courts rule on the issue.
• Filters that show which state courts across the country have recognized or denied abortion rights and states where rights are undetermined.
• Where voters have approved state constitutional amendments that negate high court decisions…”
