Gov. Ron DeSantis speaking to Moms for Liberty meeting in Philadelphia, June 30, 2023. (AP photo/Matt Rourke) Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis held a news conference regarding Amendment 4, otherwise known as the “Right to Abortion Initiative.” During the conference held on Monday, the governor spoke against the amendment, saying that the wording is a “Pandora’s Box,” projecting left-wing policies. Per MyFlorida.com, the constitutional amendment is summarized as follows, “It would provide that every individual has a right to reproductive freedom to make and conduct all pregnancy-related decisions including childbirth, fertilization, sterilization, contraception, and termination of a pregnancy before fetal viability. It would prohibit the state or other entities from interfering with an individual or assisting entities from exercising this right. Would allow the state to regulate abortion care after fetal viability, provided it does not endanger the life or health of the pregnant person.” DeSantis then mentioned what he believes are the flaws associated with the amendment, citing that the cost of the abortions would be deferred to the taxpayers. To further his critiques of the amendment, the governor stated that the changes would blur the lines of who would be qualified to administrate an abortion. If the amendment were to pass, DeSantis said that the healthcare providers would be included in the group allowed to perform an abortion, taking work away from doctors who specialize in that field. The governor then talked about the vagueness of what constitutes late-term viability for an unborn child, claiming that a person can receive an abortion six months into a pregnancy.
