Ron DeSantis Routs Democrat Push for Abortion and Marijuana in Major US Election Win

Floridians have delivered a huge pro-life win by rejecting Democrat-endorsed amendments on abortion and recreational marijuana.

Ron DeSantis led the way to victory – routing the backdoor Democrat attempt to retake power in Florida – by opposing the plan to take abortion off its leash, and legalise the leafy drug.

Major Right-to-Life Victories

Both proposals failed to receive the required 60% of the vote to pass, with a majority failing to push the proposed constitutional changes over the line.

The defeat of 3 and 4 are major U.S. election right-to-life victories.

Amendment 3 proposed enshrining ‘non-medical personal consumption’ of marijuana into Florida’s constitution, legalising drug use, dealing, and products for adults over the age of 21.

Amendment 4 proposed ending the heartbeat law, to open up abortion for any reason “when necessary, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider.”

A Florida resident, President Donald Trump voted ‘no’ on abortion.

He then voted ‘yes’ on legalising marijuana, with the caveat that legalising the drug for recreational use had to be “done correctly.”

Democrat Push for Abortion and Marijuana

Florida Democrats endorsed amendments 3 and 4 in September.

Describing the proposals as “a good first step towards restoring our rights”, the party of ‘progressives’ said it was “proud to officially support” more abortions and advance drug dependency.

Condemning DeSantis, and a large portion of Floridian voters, Trump-hating, “everything is racist”, Joy Reid – of MSNBC fame – declared Florida an “extremist right-wing, fascist type” state.

Angered, pro-abortion “social justice” juggernaut, ACLU released a statement talking down the 3% margin win, labelling it a “temporary loss in the battle for reproductive rights”.

Just as furious, Bacardi Jackson, former interim director of far-left Southern Poverty Law Centre, turned ACLU Florida executive, accused DeSantis of “intimidation, censorship, and misinformation”.

She called the protection of unborn children “extreme, dangerous and (ironically) inhumane”.

Adding to her accusations Jackson claimed DeSantis had engaged in “voter suppression, in an effort to undermine the will of the people”.

Pro-Life Praise for Positive Result

Grateful, Live Action founder, Lila Rose thanked volunteers, for ‘fighting for life’ and investing in ads to end the evil of abortion.

LifeSite News were just as appreciative, writing,

“The defeat signals a strong conservative stance in Florida on late-term abortions and ensures that the state’s heartbeat law will continue protecting babies from abortions.”

Former Trump administration official, Kayleigh McEnany remarked,

“Florida just became the first state in the nation to defeat an abortion initiative, that would have led to taxpayer-funded abortion, abortion until birth, and beyond!”

“This is a HUGE victory.”

Commenting on the Democrat defeat, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary President Albert Mohler said he was thankful amendment 4 tanked.

“It’s huge”, he wrote on X.

Congratulating DeSantis, Mohler added, “Governor Ron DeSantis deserves so much credit for his courage. It will be remembered. Big win for the unborn.”

    Thank you, God ! Thank you Ron de Santis and Donald Trump , the sinner, the imperfect man who seems to be an instrument for God’s work. As Jesus said about the stoning of the adultress : “Who is it amongst you who will cast the first stone ? ” Christianity is distinguished from other religions because “inter alia ” it preaches the forgiveness of sin. Maybe it is a new beginning for Donald , a genuine belief in God who saved him from assassination. We should remember Donald voted against Evil, against abortion.
