Most importantly, unborn children\u2014considered God&#8217;s most vulnerable creations\u2014achieved a major win when Amendment 4 was rejected in Florida. This amendment required 60 percent approval to pass but only garnered 57.4 percent support with over 95 percent of votes counted. According to The Hill, the amendment aimed to legalize abortion up until &#8220;fetal viability&#8221; (around 24 weeks) and would have prevented the state from enacting laws that restrict or penalize abortion before that point.<\/p>\n<p>Amendment 4 faced strong opposition from various critics, including notable figures like former NFL coach Tony Dungy, who described it as vague and misleading on social media. He cautioned against terms like &#8220;viability&#8221; and &#8220;healthcare providers,&#8221; which he felt were not clearly defined, warning that its passage would significantly alter Florida&#8217;s abortion landscape.<\/p>\n<p>Despite proponents spending nearly $100 million on the initiative, it ultimately failed to pass, prompting celebrations among pro-life advocates: \u201cAMENDMENT 4 WILL FAIL IN FLORIDA! YES: 57.5% NO: 42.5% (60% needed to pass) (83% of votes counted). Praise God from whom all blessings flow! Abortion must be abolished in Florida,\u201d tweeted Ben Zeisloft.<\/p>\n<p>The other group celebrating consisted of those opposed to widespread marijuana use; Amendment 3 also did not pass according to NBC News, which sought to legalize recreational marijuana use\u2014a setback for Governor Ron DeSantis who had openly criticized it by stating that such legalization would lead to an overwhelming presence of marijuana throughout the state.<\/p>\n<p>With polls closed in Florida confirming both amendments&#8217; failures, DeSantis took pride in announcing their rejection on social media while many responses expressed joy and gratitude towards God for these outcomes. One user humorously remarked about both amendments\u2019 failures: \u201cAmendment 3 got smoked; Amendment 4 got aborted.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2364729,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Ron-De-Santis-Florida-pro-life-vote.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[37805,5113,34263],"class_list":["post-2364728","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-election-night","tag-florida","tag-unborn-babies"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Ron-De-Santis-Florida-pro-life-vote.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2364728","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2364728"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2364728\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2364732,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2364728\/revisions\/2364732"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2364729"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2364728"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2364728"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2364728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
