An initiative to uphold abortion rights in Florida passed the threshold necessary to put a referendum in the ballot in November, something that could potentially have electoral implications, as well as for reproductive rights all across the U.S: southeast.
Concretely, advocates needed 891,523 signatures to make it into the ballot. The figure has already surpassed 910,000. The amendment to the state constitution says: "No law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient's health, as determined by the patient's healthcare provider."
