Former President Donald Trump snapped at a reporter on Election Day when asked about Florida’s abortion ballot measure.
The measure, Amendment 4, would prohibit laws preventing abortion and reverse the state’s strict six-week abortion ban that went into effect earlier this year. Florida is one of ten states where abortion rights are on the ballot this election. Currently, Florida’s post-Dobbs abortion law makes it a felony to perform or actively participate in an abortion six weeks after gestation. Technically, the ban has exceptions for rape, incest and human trafficking up to 15 weeks, and to save a woman’s life or prevent “substantial and irreversible” impairment. However, as experts have pointed out to Salon — and previous reports have shown — these exceptions are difficult to access.
