It isn’t just Kamala Harris and Donald Trump on the ballot in the US general election on Tuesday. Across the United States abortion rights are being voted on too, in a string of referendums across different states.

The biggest and most fiercely contested of all is in Florida, which in May enacted a six week abortion ban. In a special report, Lewis tells a disturbing tale of fire and fury in the Sunshine state, of women’s health being put in jeopardy and of a growing theocratic strain at the heart of American politics.
