Florida Supreme Court Considers Abortion Ballot Measure The Florida Supreme Court is deliberating on a proposed ballot measure to protect abortion rights, which would limit government interference before a fetus is viable, typically around 24 weeks. Some conservative-leaning justices raised concerns about the broad language of the amendment, but indicated that it should be up to voters to decide. Florida has recently enacted bans on abortions after 15 weeks and six weeks, and the court is expected to rule on the constitutionality of the 15-week ban.
