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.

    Wow. DeSantis is going for gold in the “I’m a complete piece of shit that doesn’t deserve to exist on the same planet as the rest of us” race.

    Also, banning abortion isn’t going to increase the “domestic source of babies” that’s supposed to keep the economy going. If they’re so worried about our future population maybe fix the school shooting issue with gun control? It’s kinda hard to grow a population when children(and adults) keep getting killed by mass shooters.

    Oh yeah, the population issue is just a dog whistle to torture women. Yes, torture. Dying slowly from sepsis because a hospital won’t remove a dead baby from your body should classify as torture.

    People like DeSantis are actually evil. They make up ‘problems’ so they can justify enacting cruel legislation. Please let a sink hole randomly open up swallow that asshole.
