Abortion amendment on Florida ballot ‘brutal and dangerous,’ physician says

[Michie]

“We want the Florida public to understand that Florida physicians are against Amendment 4 and that’s because it’s dangerous — not just for the babies that will be eliminated after they can feel pain but also for mothers and girls,” said Dr. Grazie Pozo Christie (right) in an interview with “EWTN News Nightly” anchor Tracy Sabol on Sept. 16, 2024. | Credit: “EWTN News Nightly” screenshot

A coalition of physicians has sprung into action to oppose a Florida ballot measure that would massively deregulate abortion in the state, including the removal of legal protections currently in place for the unborn.

In an interview with “EWTN News Nightly” anchor Tracy Sabol, Dr. Grazie Pozo Christie, a founding member of Florida Physicians Against Amendment 4, discussed Amendment 4 and its ramifications.

Christie explained that Amendment 4 would allow abortion without restriction prior to the point of the baby being viable outside the womb, usually determined to be between 21 and 24 weeks’ gestation, and would allow late-term abortions in cases of risk to the mother’s health.

The amendment would make the state “a deregulated abortion regime that would equal that of North Korea,” she said.

I live in Florida. The government has no business telling women here what to do with their own bodies. So I support this ammendment to the state constitution.

For a comparison:

Common Time Limits: Many EU countries permit abortion on demand or for broad social reasons within a 10 to 14-week gestational limit. For instance, Germany and Italy set the limit at 12 weeks, while France and Spain allow it up to 14 weeks.

Exceptions for Later Abortions: After these initial limits, many countries provide exceptions for medical reasons, such as threats to the woman's health or severe fetal anomalies. For example, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom allow abortions up to 24 weeks under certain conditions.
