A proposed amendment to the Florida Constitution at dispute before the state Supreme Court would give “unscrupulous” abortion providers free rein over vulnerable women in the state, a Florida doctor told EWTN this week.
The pro-abortion group Floridians Protecting Freedom (FPF) filed a proposed constitutional amendment with the Florida secretary of state in May that would enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution. If approved by the court, the measure would appear on the November ballot.
The proposed amendment would prohibit the state from passing any laws to “prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability.”
The Florida attorney general last year asked the state Supreme Court to block the effort, claiming in part that it did not meet the state’s legal requirements for “clear and unambiguous language.” The case was heard by the state Supreme Court this week.
