Planned Parenthood raising, spending millions to push abortion on Florida residents

Planned Parenthood is planning on launching a ballot measure initiative to roll back Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ newly-signed six-week abortion ban, according to Politico.

DeSantis signed a bill April 16 to protect the lives of the unborn after six weeks gestation with exceptions in cases of rape, incest and human trafficking, or when the mother’s life is in danger. Planned Parenthood, a pro-abortion advocacy group, is attempting to curb the governor’s efforts by attempting to create a ballot initiative allowing for abortions until fetal viability, according to Politico.

“Floridians know what is best for their own bodies and their own lives,” Sarah Standiford, the group’s national campaigns director, told Politico. “People are ready to vote for reproductive freedom and to take back power from lawmakers who have literally gone against the will of the people.”

Planned Parenthood will spend millions on their initiative, where they seek to garner 890,000 signatures by February 2023 in hopes to get the measure on the ballot in 2024, according to Politico. The measure intends on returning the power to the mother’s health care provider to determine when the fetus is viable, which is typically 24 weeks gestation.

The pro-abortion group, that’s already started to fundraise, is teaming up with other organizations, like Florida’s American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Florida Rising, which advocate for the LGBTQ community, abortion rights, criminal justice reform and other social issues, according to Politico.

“We know that Floridians overwhelmingly support safe, legal and accessible abortion care. They don’t believe that politicians or lawmakers should make decisions — especially personal decisions — about their health care or their body,” said Moné Holder of the activist organization Florida Rising.

The initiative faces an uphill battle in an increasingly conservative state, as it would need to gain approval from the state’s Supreme Court, as well as signatures from a minimum of half of Florida’s congressional districts, according to Politico. The measure would also have to gain 60% of the vote on the ballot to be enacted.

Planned Parenthood did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comment.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Although millions of American parents send their precious children off to public school every day, imagining their kids' days will be filled with reading, writing, arithmetic, science, history, sports and music, they're not only in for a shock – but for total BETRAYAL. Today's "public" (government) schools have become far-left ideological, political and religious indoctrination centers aimed at reprogramming and transforming America's children.

Kids are being taught to HATE their own country and to see themselves and their parents as racists – or victims of racists. They are sexualized and corrupted, and many are groomed into the dark LGBT world, with almost 6,000 schools prohibiting parents from even hearing about their child's transgender "transition." In between all the far-left indoctrination and sexual corruption, teachers take time to scare children to death about the near-term end of life on earth due to "catastrophic climate change." Another lie. But it's all classic Marxism/communism, with even the "3 R's" – reading, writing and arithmetic – now being corrupted with "woke," "1984"-style madness.

Perhaps never has the true threat of today's U.S. public school system been exposed as in the sensational April issue of WND's critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled "THE GREATEST BETRAYAL: How Marxism and madness have taken over America's public school system." Whistleblower is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
