On May 8, 2023, Planned Parenthood and its abortion industry allies officially announced a new citizens’ petition initiative to place a proposed amendment to the Florida Constitution on the 2024 General Election ballot.
If this proposed “Amendment to Limit Government Interference with Abortion” is approved by 60% or more of voters on November 5, 2024, then it will engraft an explicit “right” to abortion (up until the moment of birth) in our state’s governing document. Our pro-life Legislature and Governor would then be prohibited from making Florida totally abortion free, and all preexisting legislative prohibitions/regulations on abortion would also become null and void.
In early July 2023, Florida Voice for the Unborn launched the state’s first and foremost “Decline to Sign” campaign. Since that time, this webpage has served as a clearinghouse for grassroots pro-lifers’ efforts to disrupt the insidious pro-abortion campaign.
Our webpage has contained many of the ideas developed during Florida Voice for the Unborn’s First Annual Dobbs Day Banquet & Workshop on June 24, 2023, which was attended by close to 70 pro-life grassroots advocates from all across our Sunshine State.
In mid-August 2023, Florida Voice for the Unborn began distributing our innovative, double-sided “Decline to Sign Awareness Cards.” Prior to Christmas, our more than 50 grassroots captains ensured that close to 50,000 of these cards had been circulated throughout the state, from Pensacola to the Keys. In addition, since August 2023, Florida Voice for the Unborn has held monthly online prayer gatherings to ask for the Lord’s favor in our quest to defeat the pro-abortion citizens’ initiative.
Thanks to the unceasing hard work of so many passionate pro-lifers, Florida Voice for the Unborn and our partner pro-life grassroots groups were able to significantly slow down the pro-abortion side’s petition-gathering efforts.
Unfortunately, however, with less than a month to go until the February 1, 2024, signature-verification deadline set by the state of Florida, the pro-abortion citizens’ initiative, on January 5, 2024, exceeded the 891,523 statewide signature threshold (as well as the individual Congressional district thresholds) needed to appear on the November 2024 ballot.
Nonetheless, Florida’s pro-life movement had fervently prayed for our conservative-dominated state Supreme Court to disqualify the pro-abortion initiative from reaching the ballot, due to the proposed amendment’s deceptive nature.
On February 7, 2024, while the Florida Supreme Court heard oral arguments on pro-life Attorney General Ashley Moody’s request to eliminate the pro-abortion proposal from the 2024 General Election ballot, Florida Voice for the Unborn led a grassroots Pro-Life Rally and Press Conference in front of the Court building to support and pray for the pro-life legal team as well as our conservative justices.
On April 1, 2024, the Florida Supreme Court gravely disappointed Florida’s unborn children by outrageously ruling 4-to-3 to permit the misleading pro-abortion amendment on this November’s General Election ballot.
Ever since, Florida Voice for the Unborn has been laser-focused on DEFEATING (what is now known as) Amendment 4 at the polls this fall.
After holding our electrifying Second Annual Dobbs Day event on June 24, 2024, Florida Voice for the Unborn officially launched our statewide “Precinct-Level Vote NO on #4 Campaign,” which targets registered Republican voters, within an assigned precinct, who have voted at least twice in a Florida General Election since 2016.
Onward to VICTORY in November 2024, Christian soldiers!
