Florida Supreme Court Strips Abortion Rights from State Constitution
In twin decisions, the Florida Supreme Court removed the right to abortion from the Florida Constitution while also permitting voters to decide whether to amend the Constitution to explicitly protect abortion rights. This decision overturned a 35-year precedent that established the right to privacy in Florida as including the right to abortion. Through convoluted logic, the conservative majority argued that the 1980 privacy amendment to the Florida Constitution did not imply protection for abortion rights, a move that sparked significant controversy and disbelief.
