Nikki Fried, the chairwoman of the Florida Democratic Party, does not know if men can give birth.
“Would you say that a transgender woman could give birth, or get an abortion?” reporter Owen Girard asked.
“I am not a doctor,” Fried responded. “This amendment speaks for itself. It goes back to medical professionals – not politicians, not elected officials – telling people what to do with their bodies.”

The amendment in discussion would allow abortion through the point of “viability,” according to Florida’s Voice.
American Faith reported that Chief Justice Carlos Muniz, appointed by Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, remarked that the proposed ballot question is transparent in its intent to prevent the state from imposing significant abortion restrictions.
“This is a wolf coming as a wolf,” Muniz said, suggesting that Florida voters can discern the amendment’s purpose.
Liberty Counsel Chair Mat Staver asserted, “It is a free-for-all. It’s total deregulation of abortion, which is frankly deceptive,” emphasizing the broad scope of the proposed measure.
