Florida Supreme Court rules on abortion: there is no right to abortion in the state’s Privacy Clause, but voters will decide the issue in Nov.

The Florida Supreme Court issued two rulings related to a state constitutional right to abortion on April 1.

First, the court ruled that Amendment 2 (1980), which provided a state constitutional right to privacy, did not include the right to abortion, which is a change from a previous ruling in 1989.

Second, the court ruled that a citizen initiative, Amendment 4, to provide a constitutional right to abortion, can appear on the general election ballot.
