查了一下，佛州这次可能是最好的一次机会，以后更难，可能公投的机会都没有。

In Florida, filing an amendment to adjust state laws or the constitution on issues like abortion is possible, but it comes with a rigorous process due to specific petition and voting requirements. Here’s an overview of the steps and challenges:

1. Drafting and Approval Process

• Drafting: Proponents need to draft the amendment language carefully. Florida’s Supreme Court reviews proposed amendment language to ensure it adheres to the "single-subject rule" (limiting the amendment to one main issue) and is clear and unambiguous. Any ambiguity could lead the court to reject the amendment.
• Attorney General Review: The amendment must then be reviewed by Florida’s Attorney General, who can raise concerns before the Supreme Court review.

2. Gathering Signatures

• Signature Requirement: To get an amendment on the ballot, petitioners must collect signatures from registered voters equaling at least 8% of the votes cast in the last presidential election. For the 2024 ballot, this translates to over 891,000 signatures.
• Geographic Distribution: The signatures must also come from at least half of Florida’s congressional districts (14 out of 28 districts), ensuring statewide support.

3. Ballot Placement and Campaigning

• Verification: Each signature must be verified, which can be time-consuming and costly.
• Campaigning: Even if the amendment qualifies for the ballot, proponents face the hurdle of Florida’s 60% supermajority requirement for passage. This requires significant campaigning and funding to secure broad support, often costing millions of dollars.

4. Potential Opposition

• Opposition Campaigns: Well-funded opposition groups may challenge the amendment through public campaigns or legal challenges, adding another layer of difficulty.

This multi-step process makes it challenging to file and pass amendments in Florida, particularly on divisive issues like abortion, where broad consensus is hard to achieve.

Fifty-seven percent of voters approved the ballot initiative in Florida, three percentage points short of passing. Florida voted down the initiative even as voters there favor legal abortion by 65%. Among supporters of legal abortion, 14% voted against the amendment, according to preliminary exit poll results.

没人分析短的这3%吗？是女性没出来投票？还有，为啥支持合法堕胎但是却反对这个法案？搞清楚了下次好再投啊！

大家不要气馁。我家大娃说了，4年后有他一票支持妇女权益；4年后不过的话，我女儿说了8年后还可以加上她一票。我的很多朋友会动员自己的子女支持这项权益，要相信佛罗里达人民会觉醒的

选哈里斯也保证不了堕胎权啊，要两院在手，参院还要60，奥巴马刚上任，两院在手，参院都快60了，是最好的机会立法，民主党不是也没立法吗？提都没提过吧。还有dreamer, 一直拿着来吊着拉丁裔，竞选说是最重要的事，上台就忘了。在州范围立法哪就简单多了啊。AZ 选了川普，也通过了堕胎权，不矛盾啊
