Florida’s Republican attorney general is asking the state Supreme Court to keep a proposed abortion rights amendment off the 2024 ballot.
Florida's Republican attorney general has asked the state Supreme Court to keep a proposed abortion rights amendment off the ballot, saying proponents are waging “a war” to protect the procedure and ultimately will seek to expand those rights in future years. But proponents of the proposed amendment said that Atty. Gen. Ashley Moody is playing politics and that her arguments fall legally short given what they call the precise language of the proposed measure.
She said that although prior court decisions have used viability as a term meaning whether the fetus can survive outside the womb, “others will understand ‘viability’ in the more traditional clinical sense — as referring to a pregnancy that, but for an abortion or other misfortune, will result in the child’s live birth.” Proponents disputed those statements. “The proposed amendment is very clear and precise,” Democratic state Rep. Anna Eskamani said in a news release.
