The Florida Supreme Court has ruled that a revised financial impact statement will be included on the ballot alongside pro-abortion Amendment 4 for the November election. This statement will inform voters about the potential financial implications, including the possibility of taxpayer-funded abortions. The court's decision is a setback for abortion rights advocates who sought to block the statement, arguing it was misleading. The ruling allows state economists to warn voters that the proposed amendment could reduce state revenues. The decision is seen as a victory for Governor Ron DeSantis and pro-life supporters.
