Florida, Arizona set for separate paths on abortion fight

Florida and Arizona are set to become case studies on how much the issue of abortion can help Democratic candidates.

Florida advocates are trying to avoid tying their ballot measure to politics out of fear it will sink their effort.

But backers of Arizona’s amendment, which hasn’t yet been officially certified, are taking the opposite tack.

When Florida’s Supreme Court ruled earlier this month there was no constitutional right to an abortion, but then separately allowed an abortion amendment onto the ballot in November, Democrats in the state and in Washington, D.C., saw an opportunity.
