Florida voters could have an opportunity to vote on whether to enshrine abortion protections in the state constitution next year, but Florida’s Attorney General Ashley Moody is looking to block the question from the ballot.
The Florida Supreme Court is tasked with ensuring citizen initiatives abide by the single-subject rule and don’t mislead voters with vague language.prohibits any state laws that “prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability” and creates exemptions for the health of the patient.
“This office seems to be used more as a weapon against the people than as a boost to the people,” said Driskell. He also argued the term ‘viability’ is too vague and the exception in the proposed amendment is essentially limitless.
