Latinos in South Florida may protect abortion in Sunshine State

The Latino population in Miami and the rest of South Florida are strong proponents of abortion rights and may just swing the state’s November referendum vote to enshrine abortion rights in the state’s constitution, despite leaning conservative and having strong religious views.

Last week, Florida’s Supreme Court upheld a six-week abortion ban set to go into effect May 1, but the court also approved a referendum process where voters get to decide whether to allow abortion until fetal viability.
