FLORIDA AMENDMENT 4: VOTE "NO" REASON 2

The summary text for Amendment 4 (A4) that will appear on Florida's ballots 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."

Reason #2 TO VOTE "NO" ON FLORIDA AMENDMENT 4 (A4) is the use of the term "VIABILITY."  This is why I'm surprised the Florida Supreme Court allowed A4 on the ballot. The  American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists [ACOG] "strongly discourages the inclusion of 'viability'  in legislation or regulation." 

Why? Because the medical professionals (research scientists, clinicians, etc.) have not been able to come to agreement on what exactly the term "Viability" means. There are myriad factors that go into determining viability. Defining it is like trying to corral clouds.

The one guarantee if A4 passes will be a slew of lawsuits over this one word. I call it the "Lawyer's Welfare Amendment." Many taxpayer dollars will be spent on them. Neither mothers nor preborn babies will be benefited while all parties are fighting in courts. Wouldn't you rather have your taxpayer dollars go to better schools, recreational opportunities for our youth, community centers for all ages, medical services or day care than to pay lawyer fees?

If you agree, please get out to vote "NO" on A4. I  encourage you to send this to all your friends & family in Florida. Ask them to forward this to friends & families, etc., etc., etc. 

Nine other states have similar Abortion amendments on their 2024 ballots. They are: Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New York, Nevada, and South Dakota.

So send this to people you know in those states, asking them to forward it, too. Then, please pray all these Abortion ballot measures fail.

Some of you may be interested in all the research I did on the subject of viability. I found it fascinating. I plan to post it on this blog in the next day or two.

Whether you agree or disagree, please VOTE. It's the best way to honor our Veterans and our Active Duty Military Members. They fought for and are preserving your and my right to vote.
