Amendment 4

Florida voters rejected adding abortion rights to their state constitution Tuesday, keeping a ban on abortion after the first six weeks of pregnancy in place.

The former president was asked twice after casting his ballot in Palm Beach, Florida, on Tuesday about a question that the state’s voters are considering to overturn a ban on abortion after six weeks. The first time he was asked, Trump avoided answering, saying instead of the issue that he did “a great job bringing it back to the states.” Pressed a second time, Trump snapped at a reporter saying “you should stop talking about it.”

At Sunday Masses across Florida, Catholic priests have taken some time this election season to diverge from their typical homilies to try to convince parishioners to vote no on Amendment 4.

Next month, Florida voters will decide whether to approve Amendment 4 to the state constitution. It is a response to SB 300, which was approved by Florida lawmakers last year. On Sunday, Oct. 27 the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Greater Naples is hosting a “Forum on Four” community conversation to provide clarity on Amendment 4, and details on SB 300. It will be moderated by a woman who grew up in the Right to Life Movement but now hosts a podcast called “Right to Life” in which she’s been seeking clarity for herself and her listeners about these extremely complicated issues. We talk with the forum's moderator and two of its panelists.
