"Florida Supreme Court Considers Abortion Rights Ballot Measure"

The Florida Supreme Court heard arguments over a proposed constitutional amendment that would enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution, with conservatives challenging the ballot language as misleading. The court, largely appointed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, raised tough questions about the proposed amendment's language, expressing concerns about its reach and clarity. The proposed amendment would bar restrictions on abortion before fetal viability, potentially undoing the state's current bans, and is part of a broader national effort to put abortion rights directly in the hands of voters in 2024.
