These draconian tactics are yet another glimpse into what will happen if Trump and JD Vance have the chance to enact their extreme anti-choice Project 2025 agenda and do whatever it takes to rip away our basic rights.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NEW: Donald Trump\u2019s MAGA minion Ron DeSantis is sending Florida police to question voters about signing an abortion rights ballot petition.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/florida-abortion-ballot-amendment-elections-police-cfd4e3479498e63e65f1116acd95f7be\">Associated Press<\/a>: <strong>\u201cState police are showing up at Florida voters\u2019 homes to question them about signing a petition to get an abortion rights amendment on the ballot in November, and a state health care agency has launched a website targeting the ballot initiative with politically charged language.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cCritics say they\u2019re the latest efforts by Florida\u2019s Republican elected officials to leverage state resources to try to block the abortion rights measure<\/strong>, moves which some Democratic officials argue could violate state laws against voter intimidation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCritics say the investigation is a brazen attempt to intimidate voters in the country\u2019s third-largest state from protecting access to abortion \u2014 and the latest in a series of efforts by [Governor Ron DeSantis\u2019] administration to target Amendment 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cFlorida law currently bans most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, before many women even know they are pregnant.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFlorida Republicans have been using various other strategies to thwart the state abortion ballot measure. Republican Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody attempted to use the state Supreme Court to keep abortion off the ballot. Later, abortion rights advocates criticized a financial impact statement meant to be placed on the ballot beside the proposed amendment as an attempt to mislead voters. The state Supreme Court ruled in August to allow the language to remain on the ballot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMeanwhile, anti-abortion groups and GOP allies across the country are using an array of strategies to counter proposed ballot initiatives aiming to protect reproductive rights. These tactics have included legislative pushes for competing ballot measures that could confuse voters and monthslong delays caused by lawsuits over ballot initiative language.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Donald Trump recently said he will be voting AGAINST the ballot measure to repeal Florida\u2019s extreme ban on abortion and codify access.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TrumpWarRoom\/status\/1829621482848407685\">Trump<\/a>: <strong>\u201c&#8230;I will be voting no [on Florida\u2019s amendment to codify abortion access]&#8230;\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Trump made cruel abortion bans like Florida\u2019s \u2014 which he says are \u201cworking very brilliantly\u201d \u2014 possible by \u201cproudly\u201d overturning <\/strong><strong><em>Roe v.
