You can help protect abortion rights in Florida
By MUUSJN on Sunday, July 16th, 2023
Dear Friend,
Last year, MUUSJN, Jews For A Secular Democracy and many other organizations helped Michigan enshrine reproductive rights in the Michigan constitution. Kate Lannamann, a member of MUUSJN’s Interfaith Reproductive Justice Coalition, has been enthusiastic about the work we’re doing in Michigan. She’s President of a Florida Interfaith Coalition for Reproductive Health and Justice AND she’s Board Chair of Southwest and Central Planned Parenthood. Lannamann said, “Florida is following Michigan’s lead by organizing their own reproductive justice ballot proposal.” Let’s lend them a hand!
Like Michigan, Florida’s ballot initiative would enshrine abortion rights in their state constitution. Spearheaded by FPF (Floridians Protecting Freedom), the ballot proposal is titled, “Amendment to Limit Government Interference with Abortion.”
Here’s a summary of this proposal: “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.”
It’s bad enough that Florida already has a 15-week limit on legal abortion; if court challenges fail, an even more extreme 6-week ban may take effect.
HERE’S HOW YOU CAN HELP:
- Send this letter to everyone you know in Florida. You can feel free to personalize this letter.
- Invite Florida voters to click HERE to download, sign and mail in their ballot signature (use blue or black ink)
- People can volunteer or contribute to the campaign by clicking HERE
The Floridians Protecting Freedom campaign needs to get over 900,000 signatures to place this on the ballot. Let’s help Florida secure the same protections that we enjoy in Michigan!
