A new group calling itself ‘Floridians Protecting Freedom’ announced a new citizen’s initiative Monday aimed at embedding abortion rights into the state constitution.

Should the State Supreme Court uphold Florida’s current 15-week ban, a law signed by Governor Ron DeSantis last month would automatically kick in and impose a six-week ban, but by placing protections into the state constitution all of that would be null and void.

The initiative language would place language in the Florida Constitution barring any prohibition, penalty, delay, or restriction on abortion before ‘viability’ as determined by a healthcare provider. “I believe that the full effect would be abortion-on-demand throughout all nine months of pregnancy up to and including birth,” said Shirvell.
