Activities

Keep Florida Pro-Life is a Florida political committee comprised of a coalition of parents, students, professionals, and community leaders who opposed Florida Amendment 4 and other pro-abortion legislation. Keep Florida Pro-Life used the money it raised to deploy a digital campaign that delivered targeted pro-life messages to key demographics. Keep Florida Pro-Life claimed that Amendment 4 was designed to enrich the abortion industry, promote radical policies, and prioritize profit over humanity. ³

Florida Amendment 4

Florida Amendment 4, the Right to Abortion Initiative, was an initiated constitutional amendment on the ballot in Florida on November 5, 2024. The initiative was sponsored by Floridians Protecting Freedom, a coalition campaign whose partners included left-of-center groups like the ACLU of Florida, Florida Rising, Women’s Voices of Southwest Florida, Florida Women’s Freedom Coalition, SEIU 1199 Florida, Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates, and Planned Parenthood Action Fund. Proponents of Amendment 4 claimed that Florida’s six-week abortion ban had serious impacts on women and that an “overwhelming majority” of Floridians support limited government interference with abortion decisions. ⁴

If passed, Florida Amendment 4 would have enshrined in the Florida state constitution the right to an abortion “before viability” or as deemed medically necessary by a healthcare provider to “protect the patient’s health.” The initiative, however, would not have affected the existing constitutional provision that would allow for a law requiring that parents be notified before a minor can receive an abortion. ²

Amendment 4 needed 60 percent of the vote to be approved. It received over 6.07 million votes in favor of its passage (57.17 percent) while receiving nearly 4.55 million against its passage (42.83 percent) and was defeated. ²
