Florida's Amendment 4 Sparks Heated Abortion Debate

Governor DeSantis and medical professionals clash over a controversial ballot measure that could reshape abortion laws in Florida.

Amendment 4 aims to enshrine abortion rights in Florida's constitution, potentially overturning the state's current six-week abortion ban.
Governor Ron DeSantis and a coalition of doctors oppose the amendment, citing concerns about its vague language and implications for parental rights and medical standards.
A federal judge criticized the DeSantis administration for threatening TV stations with legal action over pro-amendment ads, citing First Amendment violations.
The amendment has sparked significant controversy among Florida's medical community, with doctors both supporting and opposing the measure based on its potential impact on healthcare.
The debate over Amendment 4 is part of a larger national conversation on reproductive rights, intensified by recent changes in federal abortion law.
