Trump Announces Support for Florida Abortion Ban, Will Vote No on Amendment 4
For Immediate Release: Aug. 30, 2024
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a surprise to absolutely nobody, today Trump confirmed that he will vote to preserve Florida’s strict 6-week abortion ban in November. Trump told Fox News, he will vote “No” on Amendment 4, Florida’s ballot measure that would have the effect of overturning the state’s abortion ban. By voting “No,” Trump is supporting the 6-week ban and voting to keep the law as is. In the interview, Trump also parroted disinformation and lies about the ballot initiative.
“If you needed proof that Donald Trump wants to ban abortion, here it is. Today Trump said he will vote to uphold an abortion ban in Florida. And if elected president, Trump will bring that same anti-abortion position to the White House, working with his allies to ban abortion nationwide, with or without Congress,” said Jenny Lawson, executive director of Planned Parenthood Votes. “Donald Trump is planning to vote to keep Florida’s abortion ban and he calls abortion bans “a beautiful thing,” meanwhile Vice President Harris has been leading the effort to defend and protect abortion rights. This election is about two different futures and visions for America. The choice is between Trump, and the Project 2025 agenda that wants to control every aspect of American life, and a future under the leadership of a President Kamala Harris, where we have control over our own bodies and health care.”
While Donald Trump touts his support for Florida’s abortion ban, Kamala Harris understands that no one is free unless they control their bodies, lives, and futures. Kamala Harris is unapologetic in the fight to restore, protect, and expand access to abortion. She believes in our freedoms and will fight for our right to make our own decisions about our bodies — without the government telling us what to do.
