Florida Supreme Court Hears Arguments on Amendment Guaranteeing Right to Abortion
The Florida Supreme Court recently heard arguments on an amendment to the Florida Constitution that would secure the right to an abortion. The state's conservative Attorney General is fighting against allowing the amendment to appear on the ballot in November for Florida voters to decide. In court, the conservative-leaning justices displayed some hesitancy in blocking the proposed amendment. Several justices challenged the state's argument that the ballot language was misleading and raised concerns about the state's claim that voters would not comprehend the broad impact of the amendment on legislation.
