Florida Supreme Court Considers Controversial Abortion Amendment

Florida's Supreme Court grapples with a ballot initiative that would enshrine abortion protections in the state Constitution, facing criticism from state officials who argue that the language of the initiative is too complicated for voters. The proposed measure, put forward by a coalition of abortion rights groups, aims to roll back the state's current ban on abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy to about 24 weeks, and has already collected close to 1 million state-certified signatures. The court's decision could have significant implications for reproductive rights in Florida and may affect thousands of women across the South who travel to the state for the procedure.
