Andrew discusses Amendment 4, which would put the right to abortion in the Florida Constitution through viability without limits and after viability with some limits.  

Overview

What would the initiative do?

The initiative would provide a constitutional right to abortion before viability or when "necessary to protect the patient's health, as determined by the patient's healthcare provider."

The following language would be added to the state constitution: "Except as provided in Article X, Section 22, no law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider."

The initiative would not change the state legislature's authority to enact a law requiring the parents of a minor to be notified if their child is seeking an abortion, with exceptions that can be attained through a judicial waiver.

Andrew discusses Amendment 3 to legalize personal consumption amounts of marijuana.  

Overview

What would the initiative do?

The initiative would legalize recreational marijuana for adults 21 years old and older. Individuals would be allowed to possess up to three ounces of marijuana (about 85 grams), with up to five grams in the form of concentrate. Existing Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers would be authorized under the initiative to sell marijuana to adults for personal use. The Florida State Legislature could provide by state law for the licensure of entities other than existing Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers to cultivate and sell marijuana products.
