"Florida Abortion Rights Amendment Poised for 2024 Ballot Inclusion"

TL;DR Summary
A proposed constitutional amendment to protect abortion access until viability has garnered enough signatures to potentially appear on Florida's 2024 ballot. The amendment, which would counteract the state's current 15-week abortion ban, has received over 910,946 verified signatures, surpassing the required threshold. However, it still awaits approval from the Florida Supreme Court, where Attorney General Ashley Moody has challenged its validity, questioning the clarity of the term "viability." The court's decision and the subsequent voter support, which must reach at least 60%, will determine the amendment's fate.
