They urged Catholics not to sign any petition to get this “pro-abortion constitutional amendment, titled Amendment to Limit Government Interference with Abortion, placed on the statewide ballot for the November 2024 election.”
“A network of abortion activists is working to gather petition signatures,” the bishops said in a statement released in Tallahassee by the Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops, their public policy arm. “Nearly 900,000 signatures” are needed and these activists “are working right now in communities across Florida to collect them.”
