Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024, and this year it is particularly important that everyone votes.
The election has many keys races but most importantly is the dire need to defeat Amendment 4, an extreme and dangerous proposed amendment to the Florida Constitution that would radically expand access to abortion.
Bishop Frank J. Dewane, along with the Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops, have been tireless in their efforts to get the word out about just how dangerous Amendment 4 is. The Amendment is misleading, and if passed, would be an immediate danger not only to full-term babies but also to mothers and girls.
A new commercial has been released which reminds us that Amendment 4 removes ALL restrictions on abortions, allowing for abortions at any time, for any reason, including extremely late-term abortions, when the baby can feel pain. This is radical, extreme, and unnecessary! Follow this link to view the Vote No on 4 video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mtycxoW43c
If Amendment 4 passes and becomes part of our state constitution:
- Florida will be one of the most pro-abortion states in the nation.
- Minors will be able to obtain abortions without parental consent!
- Taxpayer-funded abortion will follow, given that a woman will have a constitutional right to an abortion “without delay.”
- Pop-up abortion centers without doctors will develop, as the state can no longer regulate abortions, or require a doctor’s involvement.
Here’s the GOOD NEWS! We can still DEFEAT AMENDMENT 4! BUT WE NEED YOUR VOTE!
“A new poll has Amendment 4 on the brink of passing, indicating that 54 % will vote yes,” said Bishop Frank J. Dewane. “However, a 60% super majority is required to pass this dangerous constitutional amendment. It is clear that there is still time to defeat Amendment 4, with YOUR VOTE! Don’t leave things up to chance. Exercise your own constitutional right – and your responsibility as a Christian – to have your voice heard! Make sure your friends and family vote, too. Let’s work together to defeat this dangerous pro-abortion constitutional amendment and VOTE NO ON 4! There is still time. May God bless you abundantly and may the Holy Spirit guide you in your important election decisions!”
