Join the Novena to Defeat Florida's Abortion Amendment

The bishops invite you to join in a 9-day novena to defeat this proposed amendment and specifically to pray for the justices of the Florida Supreme Court who heard oral arguments related to the validity of the amendment language on February 7th. Kindly keep them in your prayers.

       Sign Up to Receive an Email Reminder Each Day of the Novena

The political committee behind a proposed constitutional amendment that would legalize abortion up until birth in Florida has surpassed the petition signature requirement for placement on the November 2024 ballot. For ballot placement to be confirmed, the amendment language must be reviewed by the Florida Supreme Court to ensure it is clear and limited to a single subject.
