This round of efforts centers on states that have considered bans before and a policy that's been bouncing around federal courts.

Here are key things to know about the latest developments in the saga of how abortion policy will settle after the U.S. Supreme Court last year overturned Roe v. Wade and the nationwide right to abortion.

PURPLE STATE POLICY 

Since the Dobbs ruling last year, tighter abortion restrictions have been enacted in most Republican-controlled states, and protections for abortion access have gone into effect in most that are dominated by Democrats.

But there hasn't been such a uniform story in the 11 states with divided government control. Virginia has kept its status quo, for instance, while Vermont has adopted a constitutional amendment to preserve abortion access, and Louisiana and Kentucky have bans in place.

Change came quickly in North Carolina in April when one state lawmaker flipped from Democrat to Republican, giving the GOP enough votes to override gubernatorial vetoes.
