Gov Ron DeSantis Warns Florida Abortion Amendment Will Destroy Parental Consent

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis understands that the radical abortion amendment appealing on the November ballot that would allow abortions up to birth is so bad Florida voters should vote No.

And he understands it so well that he disabused a liberal media reporter today who tried to make the amendment seem less outrageous. DeSantis took the reporter to school on the fact that it destroys parental consent before a teen girl can have an abortion.

Here’s the exchange from the Florida Voice:

“The measure reads – this amendment does not require the change of parental notification [for abortion],” a reporter said.

DeSantis cut the reporter off, saying, “That’s not consent – exactly, you made the point! How deceptive is that?”

“A parent needs to provide a notarized letter to the physician,” the reporter said – citing current Florida law, not the amendment – which would “trump” existing state laws via the Florida Constitution, DeSantis said.

“There’s a difference between consent and notification,” DeSantis said. “Notification is after the fact. The consent is obviously a condition precedent. They did that because they know going after parents’ rights is a vulnerability.”

“They tested this with millions of dollars to try to get people,” DeSantis said. “Don’t be fooled, though – that is severing the parental consent for minors […] It’s written so broadly, to just take out the notification, which is different than consent.”
