Arizona and Missouri are the latest states to add measures to the November ballot allowing voters to enshrine abortion rights in their respective state constitutions, joining at least six other states with similar measures.
In at least two states, Nebraska and Pennsylvania, ballot initiatives to protect life are pending.
State ballot measures in Arizona and Missiouri would allow abortion to be restricted or banned after fetal viability, except to protect the life or health of the woman.
The initiative would also protect from prosecution providers of abortion.
Both states define fetal viability as the point when a health professional determines the child can survive outside the womb without extraordinary medical measures.
Arizona, Missouri, Florida, Colorado, South Dakota, New York, Maryland and Nevada also have ballot measures to allow voters to expand or establish abortion rights.

Southern Baptist students and their leaders from 23 states and regions in the United States and Canada gathered for training, worship and fellowship during Collegiate Week at Falls Creek Camp in Davis, Oklahoma, Aug. 4-8.
Leadership training went beyond simple skill development to provide a background for the challenges many will face as they head into a new school year and serve as leaders on their college campuses.
Dozens of the student volunteers indicated they felt called to some sort of vocational ministry following college.
