Description
Starting May 1, Florida's 6-week abortion ban will take effect.
However, Florida voters will now have the opportunity to change how abortion is regulated in the state on Election Day.
On Monday, the state Supreme Court ruled Florida's 15-week abortion ban was constitutional, paving the way for the 6-week ban to take effect in 30 days.
In a separate ruling on Monday, the state Supreme Court approved a citizen-led ballot initiative to amend Florida's constitution. Now, this November, Florida voters will decide whether to protect abortion access up to "viability," which is typically considered 24 weeks.
10 Tampa Bay political analyst Lars Hafner outlines multiple ways the amendment could influence the 2024 election.
