Florida’s voters were asked whether the state’s constitution should say that “no law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider.”

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.

Amendment 4 has been rejected by Florida voters in the 2024 election, CBS News projects, meaning Florida's six-week abortion ban will remain in place. The amendment, which sought to enshrine abortion rights in the state's constitution, did not receive approval from at least 60% of voters.

While the nation is anxiously waiting to see who will be the next president, Florida is watching six constitutional amendments.

Amendment 4 failed in Florida after not meeting the 60% threshold to pass, according to the Associated Press. Florida voters decided to keep the current abortion law which restricts abortion to the first six weeks of pregnancy.

While the proposal received 57% of the vote, it wasn't enough to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution and keeps Florida's six-week law in place.
