A group of Florida physicians is speaking out against the state’s upcoming ballot initiative, Amendment 4, that would enshrine the “right” to abortion in the state’s constitution.\u00a0Amendment 4 would add the following language to the Florida Constitution: \u201cNo law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient\u2019s health, as determined by the patient\u2019s health care provider.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the law, “health” is subjectively determined \u2014 even by the abortionist who stands to profit directly from the abortion. And therefore, the law is broad enough to allow abortion up to birth. This is what the coalition Florida Physicians Against Amendment 4<\/a>, which is made up of more than 300 physicians from around the state, is warning. The coalition says the amendment’s passage could allow abortion up to birth and strip important protections like parental consent laws.<\/p>\n

Dr. Grazie Pozo Christie, a founding member of the group, recently spoke<\/a> with \u201cEWTN News Nightly\u201d anchor Tracy Sabo. Christie warned that the amendment would result in \u201ca deregulated abortion regime that would equal that of North Korea.\u201d<\/p>\n
