WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Jordan Vassallo is lukewarm about casting her first presidential ballot for President Joe Biden in November. But when the 18-year-old senior at Jupiter High School in Florida thinks about the things she cares about, she says her vote for the Democratic incumbent is an “obvious choice.”
Passage of the amendment would wipe away Florida's six-week abortion law, which Vassallo says makes no sense.
“Most people don't know they are pregnant at six weeks,” she said.
