I can't find where it says these abortions are to be tax supported either.
I just assume Sturg just makes **** up all the time now so I wouldn't be shocked.
I looked at ballotpedia as well but didn't want to assume that was complete.

That's not what the 4th amendment says. It's not abortion until birth.
"No law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health"

I can't find where it says these abortions are to be tax supported either.
Representatives of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office and the Florida House pushed to include information in the statement about issues such as the possibility that passage of the amendment could lead to Medicaid-funded abortions and spur a wide range of costly lawsuits. Those are issues that amendment opponents have cited as they fight the proposal.
Ultimately, with the help of the panel’s representative from the Florida Senate, DeSantis’ office and the House got information they sought into the statement.
In part, the statement says there is “uncertainty about whether the amendment will require the state to subsidize abortions with public funds. Litigation to resolve those and other uncertainties will result in additional costs to the state government and state courts that will negatively impact the state budget. An increase in abortions may negatively affect the growth of state and local revenues over time. Because the fiscal impact of increased abortions on state and local revenues and costs cannot be estimated with precision, the total impact of the proposed amendment is indeterminate.”
Chris Spencer, DeSantis’ representative on the panel, known as the Financial Impact Estimating Conference, said “protracted” lawsuits about abortion issues would be inevitable if the amendment passes. That could include lawsuits about whether Medicaid should pay for abortions and which health-care providers would be able to perform abortions, he said.

do you have any evidence of me "making **** up"
Its all over these boards. But if you want a starting point I recommend the Paul Pelosi thread.
That is precisely was allowing abortion until birth looks like. There is no definition of "viability" and there are no restrictions to what doctors deem as protecting "patient's health." This is reinstating Roe at the state level.
Here is a summary of how RDS got confirmation that this allowance will inevitably lead to tax funded abortions

Because these will be constitutionally protected "healthcare procedures," leftists will insist that Medicare is required to cover it - and they will win
Look - yall can make your arguments that Trump falling in line with the abortionists is good strategy... but pease don't pretzel yourself into watering down what this amendment allows.
And to top it off your position on abortion is not grounded in values or faith. It’s personal and selfish because of your life experiences. If you had no issues getting pregnant and having kids (you disclosed this) you wouldn’t be this extreme. Just another example of your continued selfishness.
So let me ask who thinks it should be illegal a few questions. At what point in the pregnancy should it be illegal. What type of penalty do you want for an abortion. What do you do about people who go to Canada or Mexico and get an abortion? What about abortions taking place in international waters? Would you support criminilizing people aiding them to get to another country to get abortions? Are we going to not let women travel overseas while pregnant?
1. When the pregnancy is known
2. Up to the states... but what is the most common penalty for killing a baby?
3. I dont know how we currently treat people who go to Canada to kill someone... but I'd say we can start there
4. Yes
5. Why would I stop a woman from traveling while pregnant? Thats dumb
It could but at the same time you're making leaps into what may or might not happen. A lot of liberal states don't even have Medicaid covering abortions except in extreme situations.
Trump said that he thinks 6 weeks is too short. However, he has made no commitment to this bill and you are assuming that he is.
But does Sturg actually care about life?
What about poor kids in the projects that don't have food to eat? Why don't you support welfare?
How about illegals from the third world. Why don't you support endless migration?
Oh thats right - You're a fraud.
right now his option is 6 weeks, or no restrictions. his response to the question of how he will vote on this
Trump: "well I think the 6 weeks is too short. it has to be more time. and I told them that I want more weeks...
Reporter: "you will be voting in favor of the amendment?"
Trump: "I am gonna be voting that we need more than 6 weeks."
total betrayl
You don’t know what MAGA is about if you think we are NOW cheering for it.
'Free' housing / 'Free' college is such a misnomer.
Nothing is free.
Its a damn shame that such a large portion of this country has completely ditched the idea of personal accountability.
These candidates are fake. Thats the whole point. Its all about whats popular. There are no principled candidates. When you change your position in less than 24 hours you didny really believe in it in the first place but felt the need to publicize it on live television.
The strategy is either shipping votes in from the third world or buying votes with short term sugar that will end quickly.
Easy to spend others money
Of course there are caps as there would be with any risk based lending market. My argument is that the caps should be lowered both in amounts per year and in the aggregate.
That is why I have said in numerous posts now that they need to be LOWERED.
Its simple economics. As the money supply increases inflation follows. Its the easiest way to address the cost issue of this dilemma.
Advocating policies that allocate money from one class to the other is very clearly a vote buying strategy.
What did any of that even mean?
Your candidates support socialism. Socialism is what is happening in venezuela.
Or how about lines and sub par health care in those countries? Should we pist stories about the wretched conidtion the uk health care system is in now.
That's still not a solid commitment. How about wait and see?
...wut
what am i to take from his comments? wait and see on what? is he going to take us in the voting booth?
theres a chance he walks this back bc i hope he understands he pissing off more of his base than he is gaining from the cat ladies. but the dude is a pro-abortion guy. always has been. always will be. and you guys just cheering him on are responsible for the party sprinting left because you refuse to hold him accountable for anything
I wouldn't say I'm cheering him on but he is left of center on a few issues. I may not approve but I can deal with that.
You would call Reagan a socialist because he was the left of center on a few issues and he was a good president.
Like I said you're free to vote for people who are perfect in your eyes like Ron Paul but you'll achieve nothing.
is it your position that me rejecting the stated goals of communism evidence that I do not support life?
Man - where the hell did this guy go? From the 2019 golden era of economics!
that was just a few random pages. now - government funded solutions are the answer! all it took was Trump saying so to make it true
The truest thing Trump ever said was that he could shoot someone on 5th avenue and wouldn't lose a supporter. maybe the lifelong liberal is smarter than he looks. he - like all other liberals - understand their base are mindless zombies
hahahahaha
gotta see how it polls! i suppose he needs more information - not on the ballot initiative of course - but how it will affect his popularity
Trump is making a calculus that he will win more childless cat ladies than he loses pro life conservatives from his base
I think he's wrong. And if/when Trump loses, I look forward to the day his cult blames pro life voters more than they blame the candidate who betrayed them
