Wade “We did a great job, and then we brought it back to the states, as you know, I believe in exceptions as well," Trump continued, saying he wasn't going to talk about it further.

Florida’s Amendment 4 says “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. This amendment does not change the Legislature’s constitutional authority to require notification to a parent or guardian before a minor has an abortion.” A “Yes” vote on the amendment supports adding the right to abortion in Florida’s constitution.  A “No” vote opposes changing the constitution and would keep Florida’s current six-week abortion ban in place.
