In response to Attorney General Ashley Moody’s Supreme Court filing to challenge a proposed constitutional amendment to protect abortion access in Florida’s Constitution, Senate Democratic Leader Lauren Book (D-Davie) offered the following statement:
“The DeSantis administration is afraid to allow abortion access to be decided by voters because they know they will lose — plain and simple. That’s why the Attorney General is attempting to prevent our measure from ever making it on the ballot. We will win this latest challenge, we will put abortion rights on the ballot, and voters will choose to restore women’s rights, because at the end of the day, Florida’s ban on women’s fundamental rights is dangerous, unpopular, and wrong.”
