Open Thread | Abortion Rights On The Ballot In Florida In November | 3CHICSPOLITICO

Florida voters will have the final say on a constitutional amendment to guarantee access to abortion after the state’s Supreme Court Monday decided to allow the question on whether to pass it on the 2024 statewide ballot.

The court concluded the proposed initiative, the Amendment to Limit Government Interference with Abortion, sponsored by Floridians Protecting Freedom, adequately informs voters of the proposed amendment’s effect.

The 4 -3 ruling ensures abortion will be on voter’s minds when casting ballots in the 2024 election. The initiative to place abortion access before voters came after the Florida Legislature approved a six-week abortion ban in 2023. Justices effectively upheld than ban in a separate ruling that struck down Florida’s decades-old privacy amendment that once garnered unanimous high court approval and granted constitutional protections to abortion.

But voters could ultimately overturn the justices.

The ballot summary states, “No law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider. “

I admit. I was hesitant about Democrats spending serious money in Florida, but now?
Yes. Yes. Yes.
We need to spend the funds, and get out the voters for this amendment. And, link it to the Senate race.
