NEW: The Florida Supreme Court simultaneously UPHOLDS the state's 15-week abortion ban (which lets the six-week ban take effect, too)—but also APPROVES a ballot initiative that would amend the FL constitution to protect abortion.

The Florida Supreme Court also APPROVES a ballot initiative to legalize recreational marijuana.

This initiative, plus the abortion question, will appear on the ballot in November. Both need 60% approval to pass. https://supremecourt.flcourts.gov/content/download/2285281/opinion/Opinion_SC2023-0682.pdf

1. Happy day--come November, MAGAty repugs in FL will be governed by the women of this state

who will not stop fighting for the right to control our own damn bodies! Do that 6-week ban, you jackoffs--help bring about your defeat.

2. This is the best news I've heard all day. Legal pot and legal abortion on the FL November ballot!

This will bring out young people and women. This is why Biden’s campaign thinks it could flip Florida. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/biden-campaign-florida-winnable-2024-rcna145863
