Florida voters reject Amendment 4, keeping Florida's sixweek abortion ban in place for the foreseeable future
Nov 05, 2024
After facing an aggressive opposition campaign from anti-abortion activists and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Florida voters have rejected Amendment 4, which sought to reverse Florida’s six-week abortion ban and enshrine abortion rights in the Florida Constitution. The proposed constitutional amendment would have guaranteed the right to abortion up to the point of fetal viability — equal to about 24 weeks of pregnancy — and would have limited anti-abortion Florida legislators from restricting abortion access any further.
