"Florida Supreme Court Upholds 15-Week Abortion Ban and Approves Ballot Initiative"
TL;DR Summary
The Florida Supreme Court upheld the state's 15-week abortion ban, allowing a ban on abortions after six weeks to potentially take effect, while also permitting a ballot measure to enshrine abortion rights in the state's constitution. The decisions could impact the upcoming elections, with abortion-rights supporters likely to be motivated to vote. The court's rulings come after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022. The proposed constitutional amendment on the November ballot aims to protect abortion rights before viability or when necessary for the patient's health, with an exception for parental notification for minors.
