Florida Supreme Court Considers Abortion Amendment Before Viability
TL;DR Summary
The Florida Supreme Court seemed hesitant to block a proposed ballot measure protecting abortion rights, despite conservative-leaning justices questioning the clarity of its language. The measure aims to limit government interference with abortion before a fetus is considered viable, around 24 weeks. Justices indicated that if the ballot language is not deceptive, it should be up to voters to decide. Florida, previously a destination for women seeking abortions, recently enacted a 15-week ban, with a potential six-week ban pending a court ruling.
