States Where The Fate Of Abortion Rights Could Be On 2024 Ballots

The 2024 United States presidential election can decide the fate of women in the country. The 60th quadrennial presidential election, scheduled for November 5, 2024, will elect a president and vice president for a term of four years.

Incumbent President Joe Biden, a member of the Democratic Party, and Donald Trump, a member of the Republican Party and the former President, are running for re-election. 

Women’s rights will play a pivotal role in deciding the result of the 2024 election. Ahead of the election, Vice President Kamala Harris is shifting focus on abortion rights and women’s rights. She said in a statement, “Every woman should have the right to make decisions about her own body — not the government.”
