A group backed by Planned Parenthood submitted 997,035 signatures to put abortion on the Florida ballot this November. But a bombshell criminal investigation just revealed that in some counties, half of the signatures submitted by suspected fraudsters were forged and fraudulent.
Planned Parenthood and the ACLU couldn’t get enough real, living Florida voters to put their abortion free-for-all on the November ballot, so their paid workers FORGED signatures of both living and dead people to get their extreme abortion initiative on the ballot.
According to an investigation by the Florida Department of State, Planned Parenthood committed “bulk identity theft,” forged the names of dead people, and committed numerous counts of outright fraud to achieve their signature requirement.
Now a new lawsuit seeks to prevent this fraudulent initiative from appearing on the ballot. Liberty Counsel is on the case.

For nearly two years, pro-abortion activists working under the name “Floridians Protecting Freedom” (FPF) have been collecting signatures to place a pro-abortion ballot initiative on Florida’s general election ballot.
The Planned Parenthood- and ACLU-backed initiative will override EVERY law that “restricts or “delays” abortion. Only parental notification will survive if this amendment passes.
The measure is so radical that, if passed, it would eliminate informed consent, parental consent, and would even prevent the state from conducting health and safety inspections and/or requiring abortion surgical centers to abide by the same health and safety standards as all other surgical centers in the state. It will allow abortion up to birth and forces Floridians to fund genocide.
Florida recently became one of the safest states in the nation for the unborn. Earlier this year, Florida’s Heartbeat Law went into effect, making abortions illegal after six weeks — the time when a baby’s heart starts beating, with certain exceptions.
Those restrictions have put a big crunch on the abortion industry’s bottom line, so Planned Parenthood funded the amendment to create a ballot initiative that would change the state constitution to make unlimited abortion up until birth a right in the Sunshine State ...and the evidence reveals they were willing to break the law to do it.
An investigation by the Florida Department of State found that in Palm Beach County alone, 49% of the signatures submitted by suspected fraudsters were, in fact, fraudulent. In Orange County, 32% of the signatures were fraudulent. In Osceola County, 16% of signatures were fraudulent.
Abortionists needed 891,523 valid signatures to appear on the November ballot. Once the fraudulent signatures are removed, it became clear that they did not gather enough signatures to appear on the ballot.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) opened a criminal investigation, and the results were damning, finding “Bulk identity theft” using publicly available personal identifying information to complete petition forms without the voter’s consent or knowledge, as well as forged dead people's names, committed perjury, and other felonies in order to reach the required number of signatures.
Yet, despite the fraud, as well as not gathering enough LEGAL signatures, Amendment 4 remains on the ballot.
Amendment 4 was already extreme and deceptive, but now it appears tainted with allegations of fraud. Voters should understand that Amendment 4 will allow abortion up to and during birth when the baby can feel pain, remove all health and safety regulations that protect women and girls during abortion procedures, override parental consent laws, and require Floridians to fund abortions. There is no place for fraud or deception when amending a constitution.
The constitutional amendment process must be free of fraud and deception, especially when it comes to the extreme and deceptive Amendment 4 that would endanger lives. Floridians deserve an honest and legal ballot process.
