Desantis is spending millions of taxpayer dollars in his partisan efforts to defeat Amendment 4 which will eliminates bans on abortion in tis state but what it will not do is end the need for minors to get parental consent to get an abortion (of Daddy's baby?) on that issue which is a talking point in all the ads he is funding with state taxpayer's dollars and it is a flat out lie. Amendment 4 will not end parental consentm it won't change that requirement at all. It will end abortion bans; 6 weeks, 3 months, whatever. Parental consent is a state law which will still be in force if Amendment 4 passes or not. The Legislature could choose to repeal it or not but to eliminate the requirement only the Legislature could do it and the won't. So, what all this means is that Ron SeaNTIS IS USING TAXPAYERS NONEY TO OPPOSE AN AMENDMENTBEGUN BY A CITIZENS' INITIATIVE JUST BECAUSE HE OPPOSES AORTION. tHAT'S ILLEGAL. bASICALLY dESANTIS IS USING TAX PAYER'S DOLLARS TO SUPPOTY THE VIEWS OF THE cATHOLIC cHURCH, OF WHICH HE IS A MEMBER.

And then there is Amendmedt 3; recreational Marijuana. Once again Desabtis is using millions of taxpayer dollars to oppose an amendment that was put on the ballot because over one million registered voters in Florida signed petitions to have it there but, once again, ron Desantis disagreedid John denver ruin Colorado when he sang about s with it and is using millions of taxpayer dollars to express his opinion, also illrgally! Bad enough, but again, his commercials are full of absolute lies.: LikeAmendment 3 will "ruin Florida" just like Colorado and California "got ruined
' by recreational marijuana! It's simply hilarious; did Jofn Denver ruin Colorado when he sang "rocky Mountain high Colorado? Did Jimmy Buffet ruin Florida with Margaritaville"? or how about "My Gummie Just Kicked In," which you can listen to below, boasts Paul McCartney on bass and was inspired by a memorable incident involving an edible at a dinner party.
