As Americans head out to decide who their next President will be, the fight for “reproductive freedom” which Kamala Harris, Presidential candidate of the Democratic Party, promised, is another matter for States in the US to make decisions on.
The federal constitutional right to an abortion was ended after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade more than two (2) years ago.

According to edition.cnn.com:
More than two years after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and ended the federal constitutional right to an abortion, voters in 10 states are deciding whether to cement reproductive rights in their state constitutions.
It goes a step further for residents in Arizona, Florida, Missouri, Nebraska and South Dakota: By voting in favor of reproductive rights, they would be casting ballots to invalidate their state’s current abortion ban or restrictive policies.
And in Nebraska, voters are also weighing in on a dueling measure that would do the opposite – cement the current abortion ban in the state’s constitution.
