The summary voters will see on their Florida 2024 General Election ballot for Amendment 4 (A4) 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." Passage requires 60% of voters to agree.
Here is the first reason I voted NO on A4: I believe human life begins BEFORE conception. What? Here's my evidence. Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I [God] formed you in the womb, I knew you." And, Ephesians 1:4 "Even before he made the world, God loved us & chose us in Christ." Every preborn human baby is made by God in the "God created man in his own image... male and female he created them." (Genesis 1:27)
As such, every preborn baby, even if it is only two cells big, has human rights equal to their parents. As the immortal words of our Declaration of Independence say: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
I never use the term "fetus" because it is dehumanizing. In warfare, soldiers are taught to dehumanize the enemy so they will be less hesitant to kill them. The Left has been very strategic in switching "baby" to "fetus" to make mothers, lawmakers & voters more willing to kill a preborn baby via abortion.
Did you know God promises blessings if you choose life? He does in Deuteronomy 30:19-20 (NIV): "I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life." I voted NO on A1 because I want blessings, not curses, for myself, the State of Florida, & my nation.
If you agree, I encourage you to send this to all your friends & family in Florida. Ask them to forward this to friends & families, etc., etc., etc.
Ten other states have Abortion amendments on their 2024 ballots. They are: Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New York, Nevada, and South Dakota.(Source: ballotpedia.org )
So send this to people you know in those states, asking them to forward it too. Then, pray all these ballot measures fail, if you prefer blessings to curses.
