Abortion rights advocates gather to launch their 'Yes On 4' campaign with a march and rally against the six-week abortion ban ahead of November 5, when Florida voters will decide on whether there should be a right to abortion in the state, in Orlando, Florida, U.S. April 13, 2024 The ban now means that women in Florida will have to travel hundreds of miles for an abortion after six weeks. Pregnancy in Florida for women who have a miscarriage, complications or abnormalities could be a death sentence,” said state party chair Nikki Fried, who added: “Florida’s extreme six-week abortion ban is officially in effect with no real exceptions, rolling back women’s rights by 50 years.” “This is Donald Trump’s ban. “This ban would prevent four million Florida women of reproductive age from accessing abortion care after six weeks — before many women even know they’re pregnant,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said last year. “This ban would also impact the nearly 15 million women of reproductive age who live in abortion-banning states throughout the South, many of whom have previously relied on travel to Florida as an option to access care.” Florida Democratic Party chair Nikki Fried told The Independent in April that the fight for abortion rights in the state will be central to their messaging in 2024.
