(CNN) — Following the US Supreme Court’s June 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which eliminated a constitutional right to abortion nationwide, nearly two dozen US states have banned or limited access to the procedure.

Ten states had reproductive rights on the ballot in the November 2024 election. Voters in seven of those states passed measures expanding or protecting abortion access — including in Arizona and Missouri, where citizens effectively voted to overturn their state’s abortion bans. Arizona’s constitutional amendment took effect on November 25, opening up access to abortion until fetal viability. Proposed protective measures in Florida, Nebraska and South Dakota did not pass. Nebraska voters instead approved cementing the state’s current 12-week abortion ban in the state constitution.

The fight over abortion also continues in state legislatures and courts. Most recently, a Wyoming state judge struck down the state’s total ban on abortion and its ban on abortion pills — ruling that the bans violated the state’s constitution.

In June, the US Supreme Court ruled to allow emergency abortions in Idaho for now and unanimously rejected a lawsuit challenging the Food and Drug Administration’s approach to regulating mifepristone, the first of two drugs used in medication abortion. The abortion pill will continue to be available to patients via mail, without an in-person doctor’s visit.

CNN is tracking these legal challenges as they make their way through the courts. Here’s where abortion access currently stands in the United States.
