Right to Abortion
Sponsor: Floridians Protecting Freedom
The marker is the 60% share this measure needed to pass.
In plain English
This amendment would prohibit Florida law from restricting abortion before fetal viability or when necessary to protect a patient's health as determined by their healthcare provider. The amendment would supersede current Florida law restricting abortion after 6 weeks of pregnancy, while preserving the Legislature's authority to require parental notification for minors seeking abortion.
Arguments for and against
Attributed claims extracted from the public record. Neither side is endorsed here.
Supporters argue the measure protects reproductive freedom and a woman's right to make healthcare decisions with her doctor, and that decisions about abortion should rest with patients rather than the government.
Opponents argue the measure eliminates meaningful protections for unborn life and creates permissive abortion access without sufficient limitations or safeguards.
Voter considerations
The measure required 60% of votes to pass and received 57.2% support, falling short of the supermajority threshold needed for constitutional amendments in Florida.
