Abortion
Abortion laws and related funding.
2026 in brief
Lawmakers took up 3 bills on abortion. 1 became law, 2 died. The two parties voted on opposite sides 2 times on final floor votes on these bills.
Vote counts are still being compiled (67% of these floor votes saved so far), so the numbers below will grow.
When the parties split on abortion, who sided with whom
Counts only final floor votes where most Republicans voted one way and most Democrats the other. Each bar shows how often a legislator voted with the Republican majority (red) or the Democratic majority (blue). The numbers are Republican side–Democratic side. It describes voting, not whether a vote was right.
