DeSantis Makes FL the 1st to Defeat an Abortion Industry Ballot Measure

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Protect Women Florida Action this evening released the following statement in response to the pro-life victory over Amendment 4 in Florida.

“The demise of pro-abortion Amendment 4 is a momentous victory for life in Florida and for our entire country,” said SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser. “Thanks to Gov. Ron DeSantis, when we wake up tomorrow, babies with beating hearts will still be protected in the free state of Florida.”

“The law that safeguards more than 50,000 lives annually will remain. Florida is a beacon to the places in this country which still allow abortion after the point a baby can feel pain and the model for how the pro-life movement will win future ballot measure fights. In a world where the abortion lobby has a hold of our major institutions, every Republican should take note of the leadership and courage that Ron DeSantis exhibited to expose Big Abortion’s agenda and defeat life-ending amendments.

“Thanks to Governor DeSantis voters were not deceived by the abortion industry’s scheme to profit from late-term abortions and eliminate common sense laws to protect the health and safety of women. DeSantis, GOP leaders, and the pro-life movement worked diligently so Floridians would not fall for George Soros’ attempt to strip parents of their rights and force taxpayers to fund abortion.

“Up against more than $110 million from the abortion lobby and an army of legacy media reporters going to bat for Amendment 4, DeSantis did not back down. He traveled across the state to make sure voters knew the measure would allow abortion at any point and take away parental consent. DeSantis’ Agency for Health Care Administration launched a public awareness campaign to protect women when the abortion industry ran ads lying about the ability to receive care for miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy in Florida. The governor rallied GOP officials throughout the state to stand for life and fundraised to expose the extreme implications of the amendment.”
