Amendment 4, the so-called "Amendment to Limit Government Interference with Abortion," states that "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." It would have required abortion to be allowed for any reason before fetal "viability" and render post-"viability" bans effectively meaningless by exempting any abortion that an abortionist claims is for "health" reasons.

If successful, it would have overturned all of the Sunshine State's pro-life laws, including its six-week abortion ban.

Abortion, the destruction of an innocent unborn child in his mother's womb, is always gravely immoral and never needed nor justifiable to protect a mother's life or health.

The amendment ostensibly says that it "does not change the Legislature's constitutional authority to require notification to a parent or guardian before a minor has an abortion." But many, such as DeSantis, have warned that "there's a difference between consent," which is what current law requires, "and notification. Notification is after the fact. The consent is obviously a condition precedent. They did that because they know going after parents' rights is a vulnerability."

Out-of-state leftist groups such as Planned Parenthood, the SEIU, and George Soros's donor network poured more than $40 million into the fight for Amendment 4, but it finished with 57.11% support, short of the 60% threshold Florida requires for constitutional amendments.

DeSantis took an aggressive lead in working to defeat the amendment, including the launch of a new PAC to fight it, investigating alleged fraud used to collect the signatures that put it on the ballot, lobbying other Florida Republicans to speak up, work by the state health department to disseminate the real facts about both current law and the amendment, and a recent statewide day of prayer for Florida's pro-life protections. Polling showed that Floridians were less likely to support it upon learning what it actually did... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
