But one appears to be with a website not only opposing Abortion Rights Amendment on your November ballot, but calling supporters fear Mongerers now legal action and more is underway against the agency f Health Care Administration. >> Like amendment for an abortion amendment, campaigns against and for may be partisan and political official state business may not, which is why better health care for all Floridians is this Florida department head under scrutiny and under fire? >> The agency for Health Care Administration posting what appears to be part of a campaign against the upcoming vote on amendment four that will allow voters to choose whether to take government out of abortion, health care decisions and eliminate all pro-li protections. The governor has been working to defeat that amendment.
