After a month of updating Floridians on hurricanes, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is now focusing his official office on fighting an abortion rights amendment, holding a campaign-like rally at state expense two weeks before the election.

DeSantis’ event Monday, which was capped with a prayer from the archbishop of Miami and the lieutenant governor asking people to not vote like atheists, came after the Department of Health’s top lawyer resigned over a letter he said the governor’s office forced him to send to television stations in an effort to stop a pro-Amendment 4 ad.

    Makes sense why DeSantis would be against the fourth, im sure he would love to commit unreasonable searches and seizures against anyone who disagrees with him and furthermore against every anti-fascist (for a group claiming to love the constitution they do seem to despise the bill of rights).

    Wasn’t the US Constitution’s 4th amendment the basis for Roe vs Wade? It would be fitting for the Florida 4th amendment to enshrine abortion access in their state.

    When will fools like this realize the fundanentals of american beliefs doesn’t favor one religion over another, even if you don’t practice at all? Using religion as a base is just so disengenuous to the people.
