Amendments to ban gay marriage won approval Tuesday in South Carolina, Wisconsin and Virginia as voters in many states considered ballot measures addressing an array of the nation's most divisive social issues.

A total of 205 measures were on the ballots in 37 states - ranging from routine bond measures to a riveting contest in South Dakota, where voters chose whether to uphold or reject a toughest-in-the-nation law that would ban virtually all abortions.
