We did it! Our wonderful, dedicated Campus Team organizers helped Florida voters defeat Amendment 6, which would have endangered women’s lives by restricting access to abortion and would have deleted from the Florida constitution a right to privacy clause that guarantees women’s access to abortion and birth control.

Guest post by FMF intern and Iowa State University student Molly Bryant. We did it! We won by a landslide, 64 to 36 percent vote against measure 3.
