Florida voters report law enforcement personnel visits that appear to be part of drive to block passage of Amendment 4
Ron DeSantis is making a concerted effort to maintain draconian limits on abortion access in Florida that have led to accusations the rightwing Republican governor is conducting a “state-sponsored intimidation campaign” against abortion rights and trampling on civil liberties in the state.
A near total ban on abortions after the first six weeks of pregnancy took effect in Florida in May after the state supreme court ruled that the right to an abortion was no longer covered by the privacy clause in the Florida constitution.
Passage of legislation called Amendment 4 would change the state constitution to prohibit government interference with the right to an abortion before the viability of a fetus, which typically begins around the 24th week of a pregnancy.
But registered voters in Florida have recently reported unannounced visits from law enforcement personnel that appear to be part of an all-out drive by DeSantis to use state government agencies and public funds to block passage of Amendment 4, which would enshrine in the state constitution a woman’s right to an abortion.
To all women in red states.
You don’t have to vote red. Your husbands/boyfriends/fathers/whoever will never know who you voted for. They cant be in the cubical with you, and no one can report who/what you voted.
You can vote for democrats, and just tell the people around you that you voted republican, so you don’t have to face anymore risk of violence than you already do.
Unless the fascists win, because we know they’ll go after their enemies big and small.
