Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Statement: Vote “No” on Amendment 4

Florida Amendment 4, which will appear on Florida’s November 2024 ballot, is an extreme proposal that legalizes full-term abortion with no protections for the preborn child, including when the child is capable of feeling pain. This proposed amendment to our state constitution would prohibit all restrictions on abortion before viability and create a broad exception that any healthcare provider could exploit to allow abortion up to birth. We urge all Floridians of goodwill to stand against the legalization of late-term abortion and oppose the abortion amendment.

The entire statement from the Bishops of Florida is available in English and Spanish. Printable prayer cards are also available (English/Spanish). All resources are also included on the following webpage: https://www.flaccb.org/abortion-amendment.
