We Need Your Participation to End Florida’s Near-Total Abortion Ban!

The overwhelming majority of Floridians think we should all have the freedom to make our own personal health care decisions without interference from politicians. Amendment 4 is a constitutional amendment that will be on the 2024 ballot that, if passed, would to give women the right to seek abortions up to viability.  This is our only option to remove the Florida’s near-total abortion ban.

We need 60% of the voters on November 5 to support Amendment 4 in order for this ballot initiative to pass. That’s millions and millions of people we need to reach out to.

More Information

In this powerful 30-minute video, the Women’s Resource Center (WRC) takes a stand in support of Amendment 4, encouraging a “Yes” vote to protect reproductive rights in Florida. WRC CEO Ashley Brown leads an insightful discussion with local leaders, including Nancy Hughes from the League of Women Voters, former Manatee County Commissioner Carol Whitmore, and Jaymie Carter, co-founder of Conservative Women for Freedom. Together, they break down the importance of restoring the rights once provided by Roe v. Wade and counter misinformation surrounding the amendment.
