The Florida Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Feb. 7 both for and against placing a constitutional amendment on the ballot that would grant a right to abortion through fetal “viability,” and in some cases, through birth.

The amendment’s sponsor, Floridians Protecting Freedom, has already collected enough signatures to get the measure on the ballot in November. But at the request of Republican Attorney General Ashley Moody, the court is now set to decide if the amendment’s language is deceptively broad.
