Florida's pro-abortion ballot initiative projected to fail

A measure that would have enshrined protections for abortion rights in Florida's state Constitution failed to reach the 60% threshold needed to pass, ABC News projects.

Florida has a six-week abortion ban in effect, with exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother. If it had been approved, the provision would have allowed abortions to resume in a state that was a key access point for abortion care for women across the South before the state's ban went into effect in April.
