Amendment 4 guarantees abortion access in Florida. This amendment is likely to generate the most attention in Florida, especially since the Florida Supreme Court Ok’d a six-week abortion ban that will take effect May 1.
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. This amendment does not change the Legislature’s constitutional authority to require notification to a parent or guardian before a minor has an abortion.
