In a pair of significant decisions, the Florida Supreme Court ruled Monday to uphold a 15-week ban on abortion in the state, while also allowing a proposed amendment that would enshrine abortion protections in the state constitution to appear on the November ballot.

The conservative-leaning court's decision on the 15-week ban also means that a six-week abortion ban, with exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother, that Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law last year will take effect

But the bench's ruling to allow the constitutional amendment to appear on the ballot this fall means voters will have a chance in just seven months to undo those restrictions. 

Republicans have made multiple moves over the nearly two years since the U.S Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade to restrict access to abortion.

Hes not that popular he's barely won his first election and the second one half of the dems who voted the first time didn't even cast a vote. His popularity was media hype only and now he's unpopular you don't even hear his name anymore. All the stuff getting passed now is just leftover from when he had pull. All of this shit will get over turned in quick order when dems take the state
