FORT LAUDERDALE — Florida voters could put the right to get an abortion in the state’s constitution on Nov. 5. If Amendment 4 passes, it would limit the state’s authority to restrict abortion.
With less than 10 days before the 2024 election, supporters of the amendment rallied people to get to the polls.
Broward County’s Anya Cook has been in an “Ad for the Yes on 4” campaign. She shared with CBS News Miami what happened when her doctor told her that her unborn baby would not live.
“The doctor could not terminate my pregnancy to save my life,” Cook said.
Cook said she nearly died delivering a stillborn baby in a public bathroom.
“Because of Florida’s extreme abortion laws, they couldn’t provide the care I needed,” Cook said.
She spoke at the rally in support of the amendment in Fort Lauderdale.
“We must vote yes on Amendment 4 to make sure no woman is denied medical care,” Cook said.
Taylor Berry, 15, spoke at the rally because she said it will impact her future.
