We have good news and bad news.
The bad news: Yesterday, it was announced that the Florida Supreme Court ruled that “the State Constitution’s privacy protections do not extend to abortion,” effectively banning abortion after six weeks of pregnancy – before most women know they are pregnant.
As stated by the New York Times, “In paving the way for the six-week ban, the court cemented the rapid transformation of Florida, once a destination for women seeking abortions in the American South, into a place with restrictive policies akin to those in surrounding states.”
Florida’s new abortion ban will go into effect on May 1st.
But here’s the good news: The Florida Supreme Court also ruled that a proposed constitutional amendment, which would guarantee the right to an abortion, can appear on the ballot in November.

This is our chance, team: In November, our partners will need 60% of the vote to secure a passage of this amendment. This is a make-or-break moment for Florida. This vote gives the power back to the VOTERS instead of anti-choice lawmakers and judges.
We are an official partner organization working with the Florida Women's Freedom Coalition. This committee has been raising the necessary dollars to (successfully!) fund the petition drive and is now working to fund voter outreach efforts + the legal fees associated with defending the amendment against the Florida GOP. Every dollar we raise for Her Bold Move Florida is sent directly to FWFC and is used to fund this fight.
We know Floridians want to protect the right to full reproductive healthcare, not restrict it. They’ll have a chance to make their voices heard in November – but our partners in Florida need our immediate support to get voter turnout high enough to break the 60% threshold needed to get this measure passed. That part will be a challenge.
It is critical that we help get voters OUT TO VOTE for their reproductive healthcare. Please rush $20.24 to fund Her Bold Move Florida today so we can fight back against this draconian law and restore abortion access in Florida →
