Group Aiming for Abortion-Right Ballot Initiative Raises $1.94 Million in June

July 10, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 2 Comments

Trying to quickly gather enough petition signatures to get on the 2024 ballot, a political committee leading efforts to pass a constitutional amendment aimed at ensuring abortion rights collected nearly $1.942 million in June, according to a newly filed finance report.

As of June 30, the Floridians Protecting Freedom committee had collected about $4.719 million since being formed in April. It had spent almost $4.59 million, including about $2.52 million in June.

Most of the June spending went to petition-gathering efforts, according to the report posted on the state Division of Elections website. Large donors in June included Planned Parenthood organizations and the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida.

To get the proposed constitutional amendment on the November 2024 ballot, Floridians Protecting Freedom will need to submit at least 891,523 valid petition signatures to the state by Feb. 1. If the measure reaches the ballot, it would need support from at least 60 percent of voters. The initiative was launched after Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Republican-controlled Legislature this spring approved a bill that seeks to prevent abortions after six weeks of pregnancy.

      The first sentence of the second paragraph of the story identifies the organization, “Floridians Protecting Freedom”. Do a web search on “Floridians Protecting Freedom”. Alternatively, remove the spaces from between the words and add “.com”. That is the web address.

      I do find it quite Orwellian that in the “free” state of Florida, corporate free speech is punished (Disney), women’s reproductive choices are in danger, and freedom to use a biological necessity (toilet) of choice is restricted.

      I find that the anti-choice/anti-reproductive freedom people commonly suffer from a common error in logic. They equate that which could be with that which is. Thus in their mind, a fertilized egg has the same status as a full term baby. In fact, the majority of fertilized eggs never progress to birth.
