Amendment 4 Is a Deceptive Abortion Amendment...

On April 1, 2024, the Florida Supreme Court ruled 4-3 that a deceptive ballot initiative that codifies unrestricted abortion in the state’s constitution may appear on the November ballot.

Now Floridians must defeat this deceptive amendment. This amendment is not about protecting women. In fact, this amendment will throw women into back-alley abortion butchers. The amendment is so broad that not even health or safety regulations will survive. Unscrupulous abortionists will be totally unregulated.

Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver presented oral arguments before the Florida Supreme Court on Wednesday, February 7, 2024, regarding an amendment that would codify unrestricted abortion as a right in the state constitution.

The amendment, “Amendment to Limit Government Interference with Abortion,” would create a new section in the Florida Constitution “limiting government interference with abortion.” The full text of the accompanying ballot summary states: “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. This amendment does not change the Legislature’s constitutional authority to require notification to a parent or guardian before a minor has an abortion.”

The amendment is sponsored by Floridians Protecting Freedom, Inc., a political committee supported by the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates, the American Civil Liberties Union, and other groups that support unrestricted abortion on demand up to birth.

The effect of the amendment would prevent the State of Florida from regulating all abortions that a vague and undefined “healthcare provider” may deem “necessary” to protect the woman’s “health.” The amendment leaves the terms “necessary” and “health” purposefully undefined and vague. The amendment would permit Partial-Birth Abortion, which is banned by the federal Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act. This conflict alone with the federal law disqualifies the amendment. The amendment also violates the Florida Constitution’s single-subject requirement by addressing multiple subjects, including pre-viability abortions and health in the same proposal. Those are distinct issues that cannot permissibly be put into a single ballot initiative.

According to the Florida Department of Health, a “healthcare practitioner” includes nearly 60 categories — everything from a massage therapist, audiologist, or 911 public safety telecommunicator. According to this amendment, any of those professions could refer a woman for an abortion.
