  • Reproductive freedom won up and down the ballot. Candidates supporting abortion rights won critical congressional, gubernatorial, and statewide races, including victories in key battleground states.
  • + Read More
  • Voters delivered three major abortion ballot measure victories. Nevada and Virginia voters approved constitutional protections for abortion rights, while Missouri voters rejected an anti-abortion ballot measure.
  • State-level victories create new opportunities to protect abortion access. Democratic trifectas in Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin will open the door to advancing reproductive freedom policies at the state level.

Abortion Rights WON in the 2026 Midterms 


Voters sent a message loud and clear: Our government belongs to us, not the extremists who have spent years stripping away our fundamental freedoms.

By flipping the House and Senate, voters delivered a powerful check on Donald Trump and his relentless attacks on reproductive freedom.

These historic victories create new opportunities to advance abortion rights at the federal level, including advocating for a federal abortion rights and access bill, repealing the Hyde Amendment, and creating proactive protections for birth control.

Reproductive Freedom for All helped power some of the biggest victories of election night.

Our $23.5 million My Body. My Ballot. electoral program put reproductive freedom front and center through paid communications, organizing, and direct voter contact.

Across the country, our organizers and volunteers knocked on hundreds of thousands of doors, connected with voters in critical races, and sent nearly two million texts to mobilize voters up and down the ballot.

  • 123,518 phone calls made

Voters Protected Abortion Rights in Three State Ballot Measures


Abortion was directly on the ballot in Nevada, Virginia, and Missouri—and reproductive freedom won in all three states.

Nevadans and Virginians overwhelmingly approved constitutional amendments protecting abortion rights, while Missouri voters rejected an anti-abortion ballot measure.

Reproductive Freedom for All supported efforts in all three of the states, including leading the campaign in Nevada through Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom, and serving on the steering committee for the Virginians for Reproductive Freedom coalition.

New State-Level Majorities Create Opportunities for Reproductive Freedom


Beyond Congress, voters delivered major victories at the state level, creating new reproductive freedom trifectas in Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

With control of the governor’s office and both chambers of the state legislature, these new majorities create critical opportunities to protect abortion access and advance reproductive freedom.

Several mark the first Democratic trifectas in decades, reshaping the political landscape and opening the door to lasting state-level policy change for years to come.

Reproductive Freedom for All backed candidates in key races across these states and mobilized our members to build reproductive freedom majorities from the ground up.
