Florida's Amendment 4 Faces Voter Opposition

In Florida, advocacy groups are mobilizing to influence Latino voters ahead of the Nov. 5 ballot for Amendment 4, which seeks to protect abortion rights by reversing a strict six-week ban. The amendment requires a 60% supermajority to pass, and recent polls indicate that, while a majority support it, it may fall short with less than 58% of early voters in favor. In contrast, hundreds protested in Brisbane, Australia, against the Liberal National Party's stance on abortion following their recent election victory, demanding that abortion remain legal and accessible. Protesters expressed their anger at the new premier David Crisafulli's history of voting against abortion rights legislation and his commitment to maintaining the status quo. The Florida amendment has garnered support from a significant portion of both Democrat and Republican early voters, but concerns remain about parental consent removal and potential broad access to late-term abortions. As the elections draw near, both regions reflect the heated discussions surrounding reproductive rights.
