Florida's Supreme Court delivered two rulings on abortion on Monday, with competing consequences.
Florida's Supreme Court delivered two rulings on abortion on Monday, with competing consequences.
First, the court upheld the state's right to prohibit abortion, giving the green light for a six-week ban to take effect on May 1.
The near-total ban will block almost all access in the US South, where Florida had been a haven for those seeking abortions.
But in a 4-3 vote, the justices also approved a November ballot initiative that, if approved, would overturn the six-week ban and enshrine broad abortion access in the state's constitution.
