“Florida’s proposed Amendment 4 would add the following language to the state constitution’s Declaration of Rights: ‘… no law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider’ …. I have an opinion on that ballot measure. I won’t share that opinion with you. The opinion I WILL share with you is that the measure should indeed be decided by the state’s voters. In fact, it’s already being decided by those voters. Mail ballots have already gone out. Some, including mine, have been returned and counted. ‘The system,’ such as it is, is doing its job. Governor Ron DeSantis hates that. After losing a state Supreme Court bid to block the measure, DeSantis, his party, and their cronies in government have worked overtime to prevent voters from having their say.” (10/15/24)
