Florida ballot measure to legalize abortion fails despite majority support

forbes.com — November 6, 2024 at 04:01 AM UTC

A ballot measure to legalize abortion in Florida failed on Tuesday, despite majority support. This marks the first time an abortion-related measure has been rejected since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. While Florida's Amendment 4 did not reach the required 60% approval, advocates emphasized that many voters want to end the state's strict six-week abortion ban. Other states have successfully passed measures to protect abortion rights. Abortion ballot measures have gained traction as a way to secure access to the procedure after Roe was overturned. Previous measures in states like Kansas and California have passed, reflecting a trend of support for abortion rights in recent elections.
