State police are showing up at Florida voters’ homes to question them about signing a petition to get a women’s reproductive rights amendment on the ballot in November. Critics say the investigation by Florida Republicans is a brazen attempt to intimidate voters in the country’s third-largest state from protecting women’s reproductive rights. It seems that Florida Republicans are pushing for an authoritarian state instead of democracy. 🇺🇸
Isaac Menasche, one of nearly a million people who signed the petition to get the measure on the ballot, said a law enforcement officer knocked on his door last week in Lee County in southwest Florida to ask him about signing it. “I’m not a person who is going out there protesting for abortion,” Menasche told the newspaper. “I just felt strongly, and I took the opportunity when the person asked me to say, ‘Yeah, I’ll sign that petition.’”
