An amendment to the state constitution required at least 60 percent of voters to support the proposal, which they did not. Thus, the ban on abortion after week six is ​​maintained.
Presidential candidate Donald Trump, who himself lives in Florida, said he would vote against the abortion proposal, after he initially seemed to want to support the change in the law.
Florida’s no vote is the first time an effort to protect abortion rights has failed since the federal right to abortion, known as Roe v. Wade, was struck down by the US Supreme Court in 2022.
Many do not yet know that they are pregnant in the sixth week of pregnancy, which has led to the White House, among others, being very critical of Florida’s current abortion law.
