Florida Abortion Amendment Fails Amid Political Pushback

Super Bowl-winning coach Tony Dungy expressed satisfaction after a Florida abortion amendment failed to pass, as it did not achieve the required 60% supermajority. Dungy, who opposed the amendment, praised voters for maintaining restrictions, emphasizing that exceptions for rape and incest remain. The amendment aimed to protect abortion access before viability or when necessary for the patient's health. Florida's current six-week abortion ban remains contentious, with the state being one of nine with abortion-related measures on the ballot. Dungy also noted the failure of Amendment 3, which sought to legalize marijuana.
