FL: Here's what you need to know about the abortion amendment on the November ballot

MIAMI - This November, voters in Florida will decide on two issues outside of the races for president and senate. They will decide if recreational use of marijuana should be legal in Florida. They will also decide the future of abortion in the state.

Right now, abortion is illegal after 15 weeks. As of May 1st, abortion will be illegal after six weeks. The amendment voters will be deciding on, will focus on viability, not a number of weeks.

The "Amendment to Limit Government Interference with Abortion" states:

"No law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient's health, as determined by the patient's healthcare provider. This amendment does not change the legislature's constitutional authority to require notification to a parent or guardian before a minor has an abortion."
