WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Pro-choice advocates are scrutinizing their campaigns to determine next steps to expand abortion access in Florida.

“Yes to 4” organizers hoped to lift Florida’s six-week ban on most abortions, but a 57% majority vote was not enough because the state constitution requires abortion protections to be granted by 60% voter approval.

While fans say they are disappointed, they are now turning their focus to the next step.

Meanwhile, election night resulted in a victory for those fighting to preserve Florida’s current abortion laws.

“This amendment would basically allow unregulated abortion in almost every category,” said Freedom Council President John Stemberger.

But those who want to expand access to abortion say the failed vote is critical to reproductive freedom.

“We have to be serious because we have to tell these people to lift this ban,” said ‘Yes on 4’ Campaign Director Lauren Brenzel.

Organizers who got the change on the ballot are focusing on numbers rather than defeat.

“57 percent of people voted to repeal the abortion ban in Florida, and I think that’s in the context of incredibly conservative national voters that abortion won last night in every state that has a 50 percent threshold,” Brenzel said.

They say they are now shifting their efforts to reaching out to legislators and delivering personal stories directly to Tallahassee.

“I would like to ask Anya Cook, who lost half her body’s blood and nearly died on the floor of a public toilet, about the teenager who had to continue her pregnancy as a result of being raped in Lakeland.” said Brenzel.

They plan to connect with a coalition of organizations to take action before the next legislative session.

Pro-life advocates celebrate as they begin their work.

“This is an incredible victory, and the essence of it is Florida’s rejection of extreme abortion policy,” Stemberg said.
