TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Florida voters Tuesday rejected an amendment to the State Constitution that would have guaranteed the right to an abortion, according to NewsNation/Decision Desk HQ.

Amendment 4 was added to the ballot via a citizen ballot initiative, which amassed nearly one million valid signatures.

Proponents of the measure argued that Florida’s current abortion law, which forbids abortions after the sixth week of pregnancy, is too restrictive, and that the deadline comes before most women even realize they are pregnant. Supporters argued that women should have the right to make their own healthcare decisions in consultation with their doctors, not the government.

Opponents of the measure included many Republicans, like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and members of the pro-life movement, who argued that the amendment permits late-term abortions, allows minors to get abortions without parental consent, and includes vague language that does not define terms like “viability” and “healthcare provider.”

The latter argument was rejected by the Florida Supreme Court when brought by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody as part of the judicial review process. Moody’s office argued that vague language should get the measure rejected from the ballot, but justices determined it fit the requirements.

Amendment 4’s ballot summary reads: “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.”

The ballot summary was accompanied by a financial impact statement, drafted by a panel whose members were mostly appointed by Republicans, that claimed the measure would result in lost tax revenue due to fewer babies – future taxpayers – being born. It also said that it would cost the state an undetermined amount to litigate issues like parental consent and taxpayer-funded abortions.
