Last Wednesday, the Florida Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the judicial review process for Amendment 4 — the ballot initiative enshrining a right to reproductive freedom in the Florida Constitution. The court has until April 1 to decide whether Amendment 4 will appear on the ballot in November.
Floridians deserve the freedom to make personal medical decisions without government interference and Amendment 4 would safeguard Floridians from unwanted governmental intrusion and preserve our rights to reproductive healthcare. Decisions regarding viability should rest with medical professionals, not politicians.
History shows that when reproductive rights are on the ballot, as with Dobbs, Florida voters consistently opt to preserve autonomy over their healthcare choices. Floridians deserve the chance to vote on Amendment 4 in November.
