CV NEWS FEED // A poll of early voters in Florida shows that the state’s abortion amendment is just short of passing, with less than 58% of early voters supporting it. The measure needs 60% of the votes to pass.

Florida Politics reports that a poll from St. Pete Polls shows that 37% of early voters opposed Amendment 4, which would allow abortion up until viability (around 24 weeks) or “when necessary,” as CatholicVote previously reported.

Another 5% of early voters did not respond to whether or not they voted in favor of the ballot.

St. Pete Polls found that 79% of Democrat early voters favored the measure, and 15% opposed it. The polls also found 59% of Republicans voted in favor of the measure, and 32% opposed it. 57% of Independent voters favored the measure, and 36% opposed the measure.

In a broader poll including Floridians who had not yet voted, 54% of likely voters said they opposed the ballot measure, which is still below the required 60%.

Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) warned of the many dangers of Amendment 4, including its removal of parental consent requirements for minors to receive an abortion.

He also warned that any “health care provider” can approve an abortion after viability, which would allow “anyone from the clinic receptionist to a physical therapist or a nutritionist” to approve a late second or third trimester abortion.
