Ten states have abortion on the ballot. Florida’s amendment 4 seems like it will pass or fail with razor-thin margins. Our prayers and efforts to get out the vote may make the difference.

A poll released Friday by The Hill and Emerson College Polling shows that 55 percent of likely Florida voters would vote “yes” on Amendment 4, which would create a constitutional right to abortion throughout pregnancy in the state. Support for the amendment falls short of the 60 percent needed to pass …

The survey, which was conducted between Sept. 3-5 with 815 likely Florida voters, found that 26 percent plan to vote “no,” and 20 percent are “unsure,” leaving a wide margin for the measure to either pass or fail in November.

Amendment 4 bars the state from restricting abortion before viability (approximately 24 weeks) or later in pregnancy “when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider.” It reads:

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. …

If Florida voters pass the measure with at least 60 percent support in November, the abortion amendment would undo the state’s six-week limit and basically create a permanent right to abortion in the state that could only be undone with another ballot measure or an uphill legal battle. …
