Floridians continue to wait, wonder if abortion protections will be on November ballot

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — April 1 looms as the potential day of reckoning for abortion protections in Florida. The state Supreme Court is weighing on whether to include it on the November ballot.

Despite widespread anticipation, the justices remained silent Thursday morning, issuing only a short statement: "No Florida Supreme Court opinions ready for release today…"

With a long weekend ahead, the resolution of this contentious initiative is now expected no sooner than Monday — the court's deadline.

If greenlit, the proposed ballot measure would permit abortions up to viability, approximately 24 weeks into pregnancy, with provisions for health and safety exceptions. Since Feb. 7, justices have scrutinized its 49-word summary to ensure voters understand its implications.
