DeSantis defends state webpage critical of abortion-rights amendment

Raw Story  

Ron DeSantis said he does not know whose idea it was for a state agency to publish a webpage attacking Amendment 4, the proposed abortion-right amendment on the November ballot, but he also insists the page is entirely accurate. “It’s not an anti-Amendment 4,” DeSantis declared during a news conference Tuesday of the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration’s page. “What it is, it’s providing information about what Florida law is and the resources that are available under that law.” The webpage states: “Current Florida Law Protects Women, Amendment 4 Threatens Women’s Safety,” and “DON’T LET THE FEARMONGERS LIE TO YOU.” The page goes on to say that the terms in the amendment are “open-ended and arbitrary” and has a “Here’s the Truth” section. It says: “No law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider.” DeSantis maintained that the amendment could be tied up in legal battles for decades, if it passes. “And if people could make money, non-physicians could make money to be involved, they will do that.” The AHCA webpage states, “We must keep Florida from becoming an abortion tourism destination state.” Florida Phoenix is part of States Newsroom, a nonprofit news network supported by grants and a coalition of donors as a 501c public charity.
