"Republican Sen. Rick Scott's Shift on Abortion Amid Legal Challenges"
TL;DR Summary
Republican Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, seeking reelection, has softened his stance on abortion, opposing a November ballot initiative to strike down the state’s six-week abortion ban while advocating for states' rights on the issue. This shift follows the Florida Supreme Court's approval of the abortion amendment for the ballot. Democrats are aiming to leverage the abortion issue in their efforts to unseat Scott and other Republicans, with Florida becoming more conservative in recent years. The stakes are high for Scott, flagged as a prime target by national Democrats in their efforts to preserve a narrow majority in the Senate.
