The Florida Supreme Court added constitutionally enshrined abortion rights to the ballot in November. Same in New York and Maryland. Vote in November!
Make sure you check your voter registration — you'll need to update it if you moved, changed names, or if you just haven't voted in a while and got purged from the rolls.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Florida has long played a significant role in the American abortion landscape, with dozens of clinics providing the procedure to tens of thousands of residents a year while also taking in patients from across the Southeast.
The new law provides exceptions for abortions to take place up to 15 weeks for pregnancies that result from rape, incest or human trafficking, though women would be required to show documentation such as a restraining order, medical record or police report.
Many women do not realize that they are pregnant by the sixth week, so backers of abortion rights say the new law will represent a near-total prohibition — exactly the shutdown of access that they worried would happen when Roe was overturned.
Funds are training volunteers to plan travel for patients to Illinois, Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C. (North Carolina is closer but its waiting period to get the procedure makes it a less feasible destination.)
Out-of-state patients have been sent as far south as Miami — more than 600 miles from the Georgia and Alabama borders — because wait times in Tallahassee and Jacksonville, in the northern part of the state, have been two or three weeks, she added.
Dr. Marian Sampson, an obstetrician and gynecologist who provides abortions for Planned Parenthood’s clinics in Fort Myers and Naples, on Florida’s Gulf Coast, said that over the past two weeks, “pretty much every appointment slot is double booked every day.”
The original article contains 1,391 words, the summary contains 238 words. Saved 83%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Hahahahaha
Who'd have thought that actions have consequences. Let Florida drown as the oceans rise. Good riddance.
Plenty of people there don't agree with how the politicians are acting. They just don't have the power to replace them
Build a wall around the Florida Oblast. Bugs Bunny was 100% correct when he sawed the state off and yelled, "South America, take it away!"

Let Disney take it.
Time to flip Florida blue again.
