“About six-in-ten (63%) say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, according to an April 2024 poll by the Pew Research Center. I support Amendment 4 which will be on the Florida ballot on November 5. The Amendment provides 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.'”

I agree with the sentiments expressed by a letter-writer to The Daily Sun. 'I am perplexed that the “Freedom Party” seems focused on stripping freedoms away from the rest of us. One of the most troubling is stripping the right of women to the medical freedom we’ve enjoyed for decades. (Men, I might add, would never think of control over their bodies as “medical freedom” that could be taken away — they wouldn't stand for it!) Fifty percent of women seeking to terminate a pregnancy live below the poverty line; sixty percent already have children. (CDC statistics) The most common reason for their decision is to provide a better life for the children they already have. Isn't that the right and responsibility of every parent?
