四州 11 月 3 日就堕胎议题公投：弗吉尼亚等三州决定是否把堕胎权写入州宪法
11月3日中期选举中，四个州的选民将就堕胎议题投票。弗吉尼亚、爱达荷、内华达三州选民将决定是否通过保护堕胎权的投票倡议，密苏里州选民则将决定是否废除该州的生殖自由宪法修正案、改为设定妊娠期限限制。这是2022年联邦最高法院推翻「罗诉韦德案」以来的第四轮州级堕胎公投。
值得注意的是，本轮堕胎议题的热度明显低于往年：皮尤研究中心10月初的民调显示，认为堕胎「非常重要」的民主党人比例从2022年的75%降至49%，共和党人则从39%微升至43%。全国性反堕胎团体本周期把更多资源投入到维持国会两院的共和党多数，而非全力阻击各州的堕胎权倡议。
Four States Vote on Abortion on Nov. 3: Virginia and Two Others Decide Whether to Protect Abortion Rights
Voters in four states will weigh in on abortion in the Nov. 3 midterm election. In Virginia, Idaho and Nevada, voters will decide whether to adopt ballot measures protecting abortion rights, while Missouri voters will decide whether to repeal their state's reproductive freedom constitutional amendment and replace it with gestational limits. It is the fourth round of state-level abortion votes since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.
Notably, the issue is generating less intensity than in past cycles: a Pew Research Center poll in early October found the share of Democrats calling abortion 'very important' has fallen from 75 percent in 2022 to 49 percent, while the Republican share rose slightly from 39 percent to 43 percent. National anti-abortion groups are directing more resources this cycle toward preserving Republican majorities in Congress rather than all-out fights against state abortion-rights measures.
