Advocates collected nearly a million signatures to put a state constitutional amendment to legalize abortion until viability on the ballot, surpassing the nearly 892,000 required.Abortion is currently illegal in Florida after the first six weeks of pregnancy under a law that took effect May 1.Maryland voters also will be asked this year to enshrine the right to abortion in the state’s constitution.
Abortion is currently legal for the first 15 weeks of pregnancy in Arizona. An Arizona Supreme Court ruling in April said enforcement could begin soon for a near-total ban that was already on the books. The governor has since signed a bill repealing that law. It is still expected to be in effect for a time, however.Proponents of an amendment to allow abortion in many cases must gather nearly 91,000 signatures by Friday for it to get on the Nov. 5 ballot.
