"Florida's Abortion Battle: From Six-Week Ban to Ballot Initiative"

The Florida Supreme Court upheld the state's 15-week abortion ban, triggering a six-week abortion ban set to take effect in 30 days, while also approving a proposed constitutional amendment to protect the right to an abortion in Florida, which will appear on the ballot as Amendment 4 in November. The amendment could potentially undo both bans if approved by at least 60% of voters. This sets up a presidential-year fight over reproductive rights in Florida, with potential implications for voter turnout in the upcoming election. Additionally, the court approved language for a fall ballot measure on recreational marijuana.
