Amendment 4 proposes protecting abortion access until viability, about 24 weeks of pregnancy, and would undo the state’s ban on most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. Gov. Ron DeSantis has vowed to defeat the initiative.

The suit alleges alleges Amendment 4’s sponsor Floridians Protecting Freedom failed to meet signature requirements to get the item on the ballot when the suspected fraud is considered.

The group pushing Florida's abortion access amendment has filed a federal lawsuit against Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, accusing the Gov. Ron DeSantis-appointed official of violating its First Amendment rights.
