Knowing they don't have the votes, Florida Democrats still aim to repeal abortion ban
But 57%, or over 6 million votes, was enough for abortion rights advocates to call upon the Legislature to pay attention to the results and repeal the six-week abortion ban. Last fall, however, Senate President Ben Albritton, R-Wauchula, said he would not change the law.
Democrats file legislation to overturn Florida’s 6-week abortion ban
Democratic lawmakers have filed a measure to overturn the state’s six-week abortion ban in a move made three months after voters failed to pass an initiative protecting abortion rights. Amendment 4 received 57% of the vote — not enough to cross the 60% supermajority threshold to pass.
