The ballot initiative in Florida would have allowed abortion until the point of foetal viability or about 24 weeks.

Voters in Nebraska narrowly approved a measure that leaves in place abortion restrictions Tuesday, as the state and Florida became the first states since Roe v. Wade was overturned where ballot measures broke against abortion rights—though four other states have so far voted to protect reproductive rights,

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.
