Florida Voters to Decide on 'Amendment to Limit Government Interference with Abortion'

Nov 4, 2024, 02:00 PM

Florida voters are set to decide on Amendment 4, known as the 'Amendment to Limit Government Interference with Abortion,' which aims to enshrine the right to abortion into the state constitution, overriding the current six-week ban. The amendment would allow abortions throughout all trimesters for a wide range of reasons, eliminate parental consent requirements, and potentially lead to taxpayer-funded abortions. Critics argue that it could make Florida a destination for abortions and permit non-doctors to perform the procedures. Prominent figures, including Governor Ron DeSantis, have voiced strong opposition, urging voters to reject the measure.
