Florida's highest court authorizes entry into force of a law prohibiting abortion beyond six weeks. In a separate decision, the court validated the inclusion on the ballot papers in the US elections in November of an amendment guaranteeing the right to abortion.

Outgoing Democratic President Joe Biden has made protecting theRight to abortion a focus of his campaign against his Republican predecessor Donald Trump. The Supreme Court rejects the objections of the Republican authorities and “approves the inclusion of the proposed amendment on the ballots” in November.
