"Florida Supreme Court Upholds 6-Week Abortion Ban, Leaving Decision to Voters"

Florida's conservative Supreme Court ruled that the state's constitution does not protect abortion rights, allowing one of the nation's strictest abortion bans to take effect in 30 days. However, a separate decision allows an amendment to enshrine abortion rights in the state's constitution to go on the November ballot, potentially undoing the new strict abortion ban. The rulings reflect conflicting political forces in Florida and across the nation since the fall of Roe v. Wade in 2022, and the upcoming vote will give Floridians a chance to decide on abortion access.
