Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody (R) and various groups have asked the state’s Supreme Court to prevent an initiative that would declare a supposed “right” to abortion in the state constitution from being placed on the ballot in 2024.
Moody and pro-life groups have also asked the Florida Supreme Court to schedule oral arguments on the matter, noting the case “presents important questions about the validity of a ballot initiative to amend the Florida Constitution to provide a right to abortion,” according to a Tuesday Florida Phoenix report.
“The attorney general respectfully submits that oral argument would enhance the Supreme Court’s consideration of the issues to be raised … which include whether the proposal meets the requirements for placing a citizens’ initiative on the ballot,” the motion reportedly reads.

So do irresponsible males...
If it’s on the ballot Newsom will win Florida.
They probably dont qant aboirtions. They probably, on principal, don’t want the government telling them anything about their bodies. They made it a womans issue instead of a baby’s issue. No one is making a good defense of the fact there are two people being impacted by these decisions. I think they should put a ninth amendment on the ballot that say, unless the life of the mother is IMMEDIATELY at risk a child cannot be killed after the 8th month. Draw a line in the sand. Move it later as it will be much easier to make the case once people think of 2 bodies and not just 1.
Ninth Month Ammendment
This pro-abortion amendment was specifically designed as a Get Out The Vote for Democrats (urging those who love killing babies to vote out the baby lovers)
It seems that Florida may be the next Ohio.
That is a serious concern and part of why Dems are trying to put abortion issues on every states Nov 24 ballots.
The text of the amendment says: “Limiting government interference with abortion.— Except as provided in Article X, Section 22, 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.”
(The cited provision allows the Legislature to require parental notification before a minor undergoes an abortion with the option of allowing the child to ask a judge for permission instead.)
The summary reads: “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.”
yeah, the right to murder and unborn child needs to stay off the ballot. Our society is addicted to “me me me” and the human rights of the most vulnerable are in danger. Ohio has shown the way NOT to go!
Keep it away and the pro-life movement needs to begin in earnest educating people and praying for an awakening.
Kudos to AG Moody for working to stop this wickedness. Pray for her, too, FRiends.
Unlike Ohio, Florida needs 60% to make a change to our constitution. Also our state has shifted right since 2018 when DeSantis was elected. Then he was reelected by 20 points. Florida may actually defeat this amendment.
This is good for following the constitution and states rights. Just because we don’t have the advantage doesn’t mean doing the right thing is wrong.
wrong. it won’t be voted on.....
