The states of West Virginia, Oregon, and Alabama all have measures on their ballots this year related to funding of abortion with taxpayer dollars.

None of the measures would prohibit women from having an abortion, which is protected by Roe v. Wade; if passed, the initiatives would exempt taxpayers from paying for the procedures through state-funded health plans.

West Virginia

West Virginia is one of 17 states that currently fund abortion with taxpayer money.
