After a month of updating Floridians on hurricanes, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is now focusing his official office on fighting an abortion rights amendment, holding a campaign-like rally at state expense two weeks before the election.
DeSantis’ event Monday, which was capped with a prayer from the archbishop of Miami and the lieutenant governor asking people to not vote like atheists, came after the Department of Health’s top lawyer resigned over a letter he said the governor’s office forced him to send to television stations in an effort to stop a pro-Amendment 4 ad.
This HAS to be all kinds of illegal…
With the rampant voter suppression, the human trafficking, and now this, he would probably be looking at several decades of jail time if the law applied to rich and powerful Republicans.
why does it need to be atheists who want women’s rights
Because they send fetuses to hell I guess
I will never understand how a doctor is against abortion rights.
A doctor is in a prime position to understand that many times symptoms of one patient can be disease /problem /ailment X and in the next patient it can be disease /problem /ailment y.
A doctor has the training to understand to understand that many times what they are doing is just educated guess work. So how are they going to have a definitive line of when a pregnant lady is at risk during pregnancy and know exactly when an abortion is needed?
It’s like they actually failed in college at understanding how their job even works, but somehow passed because they got enough points in other areas.
I can understand that a doctor might personally be against termination of a pregnancy when it isn’t medically necessary. I don’t agree, but I can understand being against it.
But even if you’re a doctor that feels that way, do you really want the state second guessing your decision if you performed an emergency abortion that was medically necessary?
Even a pro-life doctor should be 100% against the state getting involved in a patient’s medical decisions.
Maybe a doctor in theology?

Joke’s on him. I already voted YES on #4. Because abortion is healthcare.
Nicely done — I voted today too.
Wasn’t the US Constitution’s 4th amendment the basis for Roe vs Wade? It would be fitting for the Florida 4th amendment to enshrine abortion access in their state.
It’s not the 4th amendment to the Florida constitution. It’s in slot #4 on the ballot.
Makes sense why DeSantis would be against the fourth, im sure he would love to commit unreasonable searches and seizures against anyone who disagrees with him and furthermore against every anti-fascist (for a group claiming to love the constitution they do seem to despise the bill of rights).
When will fools like this realize the fundanentals of american beliefs doesn’t favor one religion over another, even if you don’t practice at all? Using religion as a base is just so disengenuous to the people.
This is a MUCH Better use of Taxpayer Dollars then Feeding STARVING AMERICAN CHILDREN!
