The 2024 presidential election marks the first since the U.S. Supreme Court decided to return abortion authority to the states last year. Since then, it has been a free-for-all, with a patchwork of laws that restrict or protect abortion dotting the nation and, in many cases, spawning legal challenges.

Thus, America’s next president will be thrust into the role of referee in an emotional tug of war over the legality and morality of abortion.
