The US Supreme Court's 2022 decision to eliminate a nationwide right to abortion has become a political issue for Republicans. Abortion rights will be a major focus in the 2024 presidential election. A coalition in Florida is close to gathering enough signatures to put a referendum on next year's ballot, pending the state's conservative Supreme Court decision. Several groups in Florida believe they have collected enough signatures to put abortion rights on the 2024 ballot, with signature gathering ceasing and a shift to the next phase. The initiative has the support of organizations like ACLUFL and PPFA. The campaign aims to submit 1.4 million petition signatures by the deadline. Seven states have voted on abortion since the Supreme Court's decision, with abortion rights advocates prevailing in ballot measures. Abortion opponents are contesting implementation of state ballot measures in states like Ohio, Michigan, and Kansas.
