Florida Voters Reject Abortion Rights Amendment, Uphold 6-Week Ban

TL;DR
Florida voters are set to decide on two significant ballot measures: one to protect abortion rights and another to legalize marijuana. The abortion measure aims to prevent restrictions until fetal viability, challenging the state's current six-week abortion law. The marijuana initiative would allow adults to possess and purchase marijuana, aligning with federal moves to reclassify the drug. Both measures require over 60% voter approval and have become focal points in the state's political landscape, with Democrats supporting and Republican leaders, including Governor Ron DeSantis, opposing them.
