Florida Voters Reject Amendment 4, Uphold 6-Week Abortion Ban, Blocking 24-Week Access

Nov 6, 2024, 01:27 AM

Florida voters have rejected a ballot measure, Amendment 4, which sought to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution. The measure required a 60% majority to pass but failed to reach this threshold. As a result, the current law banning abortion after six weeks, supported by Governor Ron DeSantis, remains in place. The measure would have protected abortion access for up to 24 weeks. This decision, projected by Decision Desk HQ, marks a significant moment in the ongoing national debate over abortion rights.
