The group Floridians Protecting Freedom spearheaded the effort to gather signatures for a constitutional amendment. The right to abortion care will be on the ballot in Florida on November 5, 2024.
From CBS News on April 1, 2024:
"The pro-abortion rights ballot initiative was introduced by Floridians Protecting Freedoms, a statewide campaign that argues "that all Floridians deserve the freedom to make personal medical decisions, including about abortion, free of government intrusion," according to its website.
The measure, which will appear on ballots this fall as Amendment 4, would allow abortions before viability, but it would still require parents to be notified if a minor has an abortion.
"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 ballot measure reads. "This amendment does not change the Legislature's constitutional authority to require notification to a parent or guardian before a minor has an abortion."
Amendment 4 will require 60% support to pass, and if it does pass in November, it will supersede the six-week ban that is about to go into effect."
Plan C Pills offers digital downloads of stickers, mini-flyers, and signs you may print yourself at home or have printed by a company. Many people are not aware of abortion by pills. You can spread the word.
Since the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization Supreme Court decision that overturned the national right to abortion access established by Roe V. Wade, abortion laws are now determined on a state-by-state basis. Citizens in favor of reproductive rights can lobby their local, state, and national governments to enact new protections into law.
The Center for Reproductive Rights is a global organization that advocates advancing reproductive rights as fundamental human rights and ensuring these rights are protected by law.
