Health Care on the Ballot: What the Election Could Mean for Reproductive Justice

Reproductive justice will be front and center on the ballot next week. Some choices, like state ballot initiatives offering constitutional protections for abortion rights, have a clear impact. Others are more indirect, arising not from a direct vote, but from candidates’ competing approaches to governing and legislating. In this issue of Health Care on the Ballot, we will review—at a high level—key reproductive rights issues that lean heavily on the results of next week’s election. While abortion rights feature prominently in these debates, many other reproductive rights issues are also at stake, demonstrating the potentially huge impact of this year’s election on many facets of health care access. The below review is only a sampling, and we encourage all readers to reflect on how the questions before you and your loved ones next week might impact reproductive justice.
