With an election looming, everyone is weighing in on a woman’s right to control her body and medical decisions in Florida. OutSFL readers are unquestionably in favor.

In an exclusive poll, 92% of respondents say they support Amendment 4 on the November ballot which would restore women’s right to abortion. Six percent are opposed and 2% remain undecided.

Officially, Amendment 4 is the “Amendment to Limit Government Interference with Abortion.”

The ballot summary reads: “No law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider. This amendment does not change the Legislature’s constitutional authority to require notification to a parent or guardian before a minor has an abortion.”

Currently, Florida restricts abortions after six weeks, often before a woman even knows she is pregnant. Gov. Ron DeSantis and the conservative legislature in Tallahassee put the time frame in place after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade in 2022.

Since then, citizens in several states, including conservative Kansas and Kentucky, have voted to preserve or restore a woman’s right to choose.

Perhaps the best apples-to-apples comparison is Ohio. Like Florida, it is a recent purple state that has become much redder in the last few election cycles.

In 2023, voters there approved a pro-choice amendment with 55% of the vote, and it was considered a landslide.

Florida requires a 60% supermajority to pass, meaning a “landslide” in Ohio would be a defeat in Florida.

Democrats are hoping the emotional issue, along with a ballot measure to legalize recreational marijuana, will help bring out younger voters and help down ballot candidates.

OutSFL conducted the survey online via SurveyMonkey with 156 respondents.
