Floridians rejected a measure to enshrine a constitutional right to abortion Tuesday, retaining the state’s six-week ban. Amendment 4 is poised

DeSantis and opponents to Amendment 4 argued the ballot measure's authors are "lying" to Floridians, and words used, like "health care provider" and "viability" leave too much room for "outsiders" and unqualified practitioners to come to Florida and perform unsafe procedures.

The ballot initiative in Florida would have allowed abortion until the point of foetal viability or about 24 weeks.
