"Florida Supreme Court Considers Fate of Abortion Amendment on November Ballot"
The Florida Supreme Court heard arguments on a proposed amendment enshrining abortion rights in the state Constitution, which has gathered over 1.5 million signatures. The state Attorney General objects to the language and has asked the court to reject it, arguing that it is ambiguous. If passed, the amendment would trump any legislation on abortion, and a 60 percent supermajority would be needed to add it to the constitution. The stakes are high in Florida, where access to abortion could become more difficult, and the court's decision could have significant implications for the state's abortion laws.
