Ron DeSantis appeals to pro-choice voters to reject Amendment 4 over vagueness

Gov. Ron DeSantis is making his case to pro-choice voters to reject Amendment 4, as he argues the abortion rights initiative is written vaguely.

DeSantis spoke at an Orlando press conference and addressed the upcoming constitutional amendment that seeks to enshrine abortion rights — a regular conversation topic for the Governor ahead of the November election.

“Look if you’re pro-life, obviously you’re going to vote against this once you figure out what’s in it,” DeSantis said. “But there’s other people, maybe they’re not pro-life, but their view is like, ‘OK, let the mother talk to the physician.’ … The physician doesn’t have to be a part of it under this amendment, how crazy is that?”

“The whole thing is built on fraud,” he add. “If you read that amendment, they don’t define any of the terms that are in the amendment.”

It’s become a war of words — as well as lawsuits and criminal complaints, too — between DeSantis and Floridians Protecting Freedom, the political committee behind Amendment 4.

If a woman is crystal clear about terminating an unplanned pregnancy Ron S thinks she should be forced to pay for a physician consult to "make the decision" before allowing her to proceed?

If that's what he's saying, I would say good thing the law doesn't mandate that.

the article, he is talking to the (so-called) pro-life people. Can someone clear up my confusion?

Thanks in advance.

I can't wait for this shitstain to go away forever. He's devoid of charisma & humanity. He has about as much chance of becoming president as the pile of dog crap I picked up off the lawn.
