According to the Tampa Bay Times, during the elections on November 5, 2024, Florida voters decided to decline Amendment 4, a proposed change to the state constitution that would have safeguarded abortion rights through 24 weeks. With 57% in favor but needing 60% to amend the constitution, the vote outcome means that Florida’s six-week abortion ban, one of the strictest in the country, will continue. Advocates on both sides call the vote crucial, with supporters of the amendment pledging to bring it back in future elections.
