Florida Abortion Rights Measure Gets Enough Signatures to Appear on Ballot

Come November, during the national presidential elections, one more item will go on the ballots in Florida. After amassing well over the requirement of signatures that can take a vote to the polls, Florida residents will get to decide if they can uphold their reproductive rights. 

However, the enormous efforts of the private entities that went around to collect the signatures might be futile. How, you ask? The state attorney of Florida still has the constitutional right to veto the abortion rights vote from going to the polls. 

Of course, several factors may influence that decision. However, the success of the polled constitutional amendment still depends on the accent of Attorney General Ashley Moody. 

The goal of the amendment is to lift all the restrictions on access to health care involving abortion. Presently, it is illegal to terminate a pregnancy if it is more than 15 weeks old. This law implies that even if carrying the baby will harm the mother’s life, the state of Florida still would not allow an abortion after 15 weeks.

So, the signatories are fighting to remove all such restrictions. In 2022, the Supreme Court overturned its 1972 Roe v. Wade verdict. Since then, many US states have passed local legislation, in diverse variants, that bans abortion. If the vote to lift Florida’s abortion ban scales through, the woman and her healthcare provider can make the best decision to protect the patient’s health.

So far, 911,089 Florida residents have signed the constitutional amendment to overturn the abortion ban. According to Florida’s election division, the available signatures are approximately 20,000 more than what the amendment needs to go to the ballots. 

Supporters of the amendment have their fingers crossed for the attorney general’s approval to include it on the November ballots. If it eventually makes it on, the amendment will need a minimum vote of 60% at the polls before it can made law.

POLL — Should Abortion Be Legal in Most Cases?

Interestingly, almost all states that have gone via the same route have succeeded. By implication, if the amendment makes it to the ballots, there is a high probability that it will eventually become law. This projection is even true of states that have a conservative majority. 

For example, Ohio is not a pro-MAGA state. Donald Trump, the GOP candidate in the 2020 elections, got a miserly 8% vote. However, after successfully getting enough signatures to put abortion rights on the ballots, the state was able to lift the ban on abortions in the state at the local polls last November.

Ashley Moody is the key to that lock regardingy Moody is the key to that lock regarding the feasibility of the amendment making it to the ballots. However, there are already hints of what the ruling of the attorney general would be.

Moody was reported as criticizing the language with which the amendment was crafted. According to her, the proposed amendment to abortion rights in Florida is quite vague and not well scripted.

Likewise, Moody has accused the individuals and organizations behind the amendment of being saboteurs. Summarily, she projects that they are merely out to turn Florida into a state that permits abuse of abortion rights.
