Today the Florida Supreme Court affirmed that DeSantis’ 6 week abortion ban can go into effect, and at the same time approved a referendum to (basically) strike it on the November ballot.

Assuming trends continue as they have (without exception) a referendum on abortion brings out the Democratic vote in droves (also in Chevys and Mazdas) and has led to results that might be otherwise surprising, if not for the “choice” vote.

Florida Supreme Court allows one of nation’s strictest abortion bans to take effect

The high court simultaneously ruled that a referendum enshrining abortion rights can go on the November ballot

 Florida’s conservative Supreme Court ruled Monday that the state’s constitution 
does not protect abortion rights, allowing one of the country’s strictest and most 
far-reaching abortion bans to take effect in 30 days.

But in a separate decision, the high court also ruled that an amendment to enshrine 
abortion rights in the state’s constitution can go on the November ballot, for a vote 
that could potentially undo the new strict abortion ban in a matter of months.
