Abortion-rights groups are significantly outspending their opponents in nine states, raising over $160 million compared to just $26 million for anti-abortion groups. This funding advantage is reflected in ad spending, with abortion-rights supporters spending three times more on advertisements.

In Florida, proponents of an abortion amendment have raised $75 million, while opponents have gathered $10 million. The amendment aims to overturn a six-week abortion ban, but requires 60% voter approval to pass.

In South Dakota, anti-abortion groups have a funding edge, raising $2 million compared to $1 million for abortion-rights supporters. Recent contributions from a Democratic fund have boosted the abortion-rights campaign, which had previously received little national attention.
