Amendment 4 proposes protecting abortion access until viability, about 24 weeks of pregnancy, and would undo the state’s ban on most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. Gov. Ron DeSantis has vowed to defeat the initiative.

The group pushing Florida's abortion access amendment has filed a federal lawsuit against Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, accusing the Gov. Ron DeSantis-appointed official of violating its First Amendment rights.

A political committee leading efforts to pass a ballot proposal on abortion rights filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday alleging the state violated the First Amendment by threatening television stations over an ad supporting the measure.
