If Florida’s abortion rights amendment passes, courts will weigh parental consent question

Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., warned parents about a state abortion amendment that would expand legal access to abortion and overrule a six-week abortion ban that went into effect May 1.

In Naples, hours before President Joe Biden spoke in Tampa April 23 about abortion, DeSantis told a crowd that Biden was coming to Florida to support a constitutional amendment "that will eliminate parental consent for minors and that’s written in a way that’s intentionally designed to deceive voters."

The governor repeated this warning on April 30, calling it "an amendment that they wanted to go into Florida’s Constitution that will eliminate parental consent for minors."

"Why would you take away parental consent?" he asked.
