'If You Can Keep It': The Role Of Abortion In The Election : 1A A growing number of voters in swing states are saying that abortion could sway their decision in the election this November.

But the presidency isn't the only place abortion is relevant on the ballot. At least 11 states—including Arizona, Montana, and Florida—are voting directly on the issue this fall.

It's been two years since the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade.

For this installment of 'If You Can Keep It,' we discuss how the abortion rights landscape has changed and what those changes mean for the election.
