FL Bishops’ Statement:
Vote "NO" on Amendment 4 • "We urge all Floridians of goodwill to stand against the legalization of late-term abortion and oppose the abortion amendment. In doing so, we will not only protect the weakest, most innocent, and defenseless of human life among us but also countless women throughout the state from the harms of abortion," said the bishops of Florida in their statement on Amendment 4.
You might have heard about Florida Amendment 4, which will appear on Florida’s November 2024 ballot. If you have not, I urge you to be informed about Amendment 4, a misleading and dangerous proposal that would legalize abortion up to full term, prohibiting all restrictions on abortion before viability, eliminate parental consent, and create a broad exception that any “healthcare provider” could exploit to allow abortion up to birth.
As confirmed Catholics we are to witness in an increasingly secularized world that God matters and because God matters, human beings, created in God’s own image and likeness, including the unborn, matter as well.
