"Florida Abortion Amendment Secures Ballot Spot with Signature Milestone"

Florida's abortion rights activists have successfully gathered over 911,000 signatures, surpassing the required threshold to place an amendment on the ballot that would protect abortion rights in the state constitution. The amendment aims to allow abortions until fetal viability, around 24 weeks. Despite the collection of signatures, the initiative faces a challenge in the Florida Supreme Court, which leans conservative and will hear arguments next month regarding the amendment's language. The campaign has seen significant bipartisan support, with a notable percentage of signatures from Republicans and non-affiliated voters. This development comes after the fall of Roe v. Wade and reflects a trend where voters in various states have supported abortion rights on the ballot.
