Gov. Ron DeSantis continues to use tax dollars to campaign against an abortion amendment in Florida.

A standard isn't a bad idea. But it requires a lot of brain power and help of doctors. Complete bans are really stupid.

It's not just abortion. What about women who miscarry and need a D&C? What about ectopic pregnancy? Have some compassion

[ChristinaRoDyk]

If the point of reversing Roe was to give it back to the people to decide at the state LET THEM VOTE!!

Like Judge Walker pointed out "It's the first amendment, stupid"!!!

Farm Subsidies (Farmers are making BIG PROFITS from Farm Subsidies. The intent was never for farmers to profit of subsidies.)
If subsidies issued were given an honest audit, you would find more than 72% of some U.S. farmers living the high life over billions of dollars of unnecessary subsidies. It's like giving Free/Reduced School Lunch and a $5K check to the King of England.)

Federal farm subsidies have come under significant scrutiny lately, particularly given the high risk of fraud involved with the programs and the high percentage of subsidies that are going to America’s wealthiest individuals and corporations, and not to the family farmer as was originally intended by the subsidies. For instance, as this Bloomberg article discusses, federal crop insurance which is designed to encourage farmers to plant marginal crops has been “marred by fraud.” In fact, Bloomberg states that, in North Carolina, a network of insurance agents, claims adjusters, and FARMERS cheated the government out of close to $100 million over more than a decade.

Is that legal ?? If not charge Desantis 😮😮😮😮😮 no one is above the law, right ???

[CA-tkyn]

As a Floridian, I do not want my tax dollars to go towards a one sided political issue like this. Shame on you Dictator DeSantis for doing these nasty political things that stand directly against some of the people! We pay those taxes too, so stop using them for your personal opinion!

The money he's caught spending should come right out of his own pocket Florida is tired of him doing the same s*** over and over you're next DeSantis of course he won't take questions he's an idiot

[jns]

This guy is a total waste of tax payer dollars

[DavidBauer-ivyw]

Hold the news accountable for all their fake lies

[taurusjn]

It's God who makes judgement. If a person who gives the abortion or the one who has the abortion will have to answer to God. Not anyone else.

[johnkim]

Govt can not one sided n related to religion…has to be embarrassed for everyone including 34 felons DJT

[iCanbEYOURrUKIA]

Didn't he just get slapped with a restraining order for this? And told it's not legal for him to use tax payer money for his stupid campaign? When will ron DeSantimonious learn🤦🏽‍♀️

[jerrywilliams]

I'd say protecting the innocent unborn is the perfect use for tax dollars we should always protect our future citizens they are the future of this country

[cyberGEK]

If I lived in a state spending my tax money fighting for one side of an issue I’d be pretty pissed off!! Seems like abuse of power to me!

[davidredfern]

Money well spent, bravo Gov DESANTIS 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[MD]

I'm a Florida taxpayer. I approve.

[catherinegadbois]

I’m a 65 yr old woman who is also a Floridian. Desantis is abusing his power and should resign! He has no right to us our tax dollars for his own beliefs! Yes on Amendment 3 and 4!

[Honeyko-ir]

The news should cover objectively what this bill really is. Explain hiw the vague bill will cause lawsuits. Explain how expensive it will also be for taxpayers.

[DennisMcFall]

How is this any more unacceptabble, in principle, than using taxpayors money to perform abortions? If a woman wants an abortion, let her have it, but also let her pay for it.
