NEWBERRY, Fla.—A pro-life group has announced it will try again to get a proposed state constitutional amendment—protecting all “human beings” with “a detectable heartbeat”—on ballots in Florida, this time aiming for the November 2024 election.
The group’s first attempt, which began officially in November 2019, failed meet the state’s requirements to put the amendment on the ballot this year.
The Florida group’s announcement about the re-launch of the statewide effort shared exclusively with The Epoch Times comes five days after Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed a new law to restrict abortions in the state.
The measure, signed April 14, bans most abortions in the state after 15 weeks of pregnancy. It’s set to go into effect on July 1.
