Florida’s abortion amendment fails, leaving 6-week ban in place
Summary
Florida voters narrowly defeated an abortion-rights ballot initiative on Tuesday, preserving the state’s six-week abortion ban.
The measure’s defeat is a significant victory for Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), whose administration actively opposed the amendment through legal challenges, public agency ads, and investigations. The measure required a 60% supermajority to pass—the highest threshold in the U.S.—and would have protected abortion rights up to 24 weeks.
Florida is now the first state to reject an abortion rights amendment since Roe v. Wade was overturned, limiting abortion access across the Southern U.S.

I tried. Twice. I sent a petition to get it on the ballot, and then I voted for it. Sorry the rest of the people in this state sucks so much.
Don't worry, Trump will cut the migrant workers out of the construction field, so your home insurance costs are going to rise, those were low before right?
As if I can afford to own my home, lol
Touche. Lol
