Gov. Ron DeSantis has garnered support in opposition to the all-trimester abortion ballot measure, Amendment 4, which will be presented to voters this election cycle. The governor has been a vocal critic of the amendment since the Florida Supreme Court's decision to place it on the ballot. On Thursday night, he hosted an event in Tampa aimed at fundraising and educating the public about the implications of Amendment 4.

Marjorie Dannenfelser praised DeSantis' efforts, stating, "We heartily applaud Gov. DeSantis for his courage and tenacity in forging consensus to defeat Florida’s all-trimester abortion amendment. The only way that Amendment 4 will succeed is if Floridians are unaware that it takes away parental consent, forces taxpayers to fund abortion, and restores Florida as a late-term abortion capital by allowing abortion in the seventh, eighth, and ninth months of pregnancy. The governor is leading the fight for women, girls and unborn children to expose exactly what Big Abortion’s ballot measure would do."

Dannenfelser further urged GOP leaders in other states with similar measures on their ballots to emulate DeSantis' approach: "GOP leaders in states with abortion on the ballot this year must mirror DeSantis’ leadership to raise funds and use their platforms to educate the public. Lives are at stake in November and they must engage now to expose the deception and provide a counter to the major institutions that are going to bat to increase Planned Parenthood’s profits."

The event was organized by Protect Women Florida Action.
