Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is actively campaigning against Amendment 4, which would protect abortion access in the state's constitution by allowing it until viability, around 24 weeks, or when deemed necessary by a health care provider. DeSantis argues the amendment's vague language could lead to elective abortions throughout a pregnancy and challenges existing parental consent laws. Critics have noted DeSantis' use of state resources to oppose the amendment, including controversial cease-and-desist letters sent to TV stations airing pro-Amendment 4 ads, which a federal judge ruled as a First Amendment violation. Supporters of the amendment argue it aims to end Florida's 'extreme' six-week abortion ban and accuse DeSantis of being out of touch with voters on this issue. The amendment's passing is seen as both a referendum on DeSantis' governance and a significant policy shift in the state's abortion laws. The outcome could impact DeSantis' political future, particularly any potential 2028 presidential run.
