Trump said he will vote against Amendment 4 in Florida, which would allow abortion up to 24 weeks
Former President Trump has said he’ll vote “no” against Florida’s Amendment 4, which would allow abortion up to 24 weeks.
At present, abortion in Florida is limited to six weeks’ gestation, after a new law came into effect in May, but a new initiative, called Amendment 4, would allow abortion up to 24 weeks.
“So I think six weeks, you need more time than six weeks. I’ve disagreed with that right from the early primaries when I heard about it, I disagreed with it,” Trump said, in an interview with Fox News’s Brian Llenas before his latest rally in Pennsylvania on Friday.
“At the same time, the Democrats are radical because the nine months is just a ridiculous situation. Where you can do an abortion in the ninth month and, you know, some of the states like Minnesota and other states have it where you can actually execute the baby after birth. And all of that stuff is unacceptable.
“So I’ll be voting no for that reason.”
Amendment 4 was introduced by a group called Floridians Protecting Freedom (FPF). It states that “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.”
On their website, FPF describe themselves as a “statewide campaign of allied organizations and concerned citizens working together to limit government interference with abortion. We recognize that all Floridians deserve the freedom to make personal medical decisions, free of government intrusion. Our citizen-led ballot initiative, the ‘Amendment to Limit Government Interference with Abortion,’ seeks to remove politicians from these decisions by creating a constitutional amendment that explicitly blocks the implementation of laws that prohibit, delay, or restrict abortion access.”
