Orlando, FL: Yesterday Floridians Protecting Freedom officially announced and launched a statewide campaign to codify abortion rights in Florida’s State Constitution via a citizen-led ballot initiative. Today that petition officially went live and this evening Representative Anna V. Eskamani will be hosting an event in Orlando to train volunteers how to collect petitions and allow volunteers to pick up petitions too.

People don’t turn to politicians for advice about birth control, mammograms, or cancer treatments. Politicians should not be involved in a person’s personal medical decisions about their pregnancy. We all know that abortion is a deeply personal and often complex decision for a pregnant person. We can’t make that decision for someone else but we can work to ensure that all people will have a constitutional right to make their own personal decision.
