What is the Human Life Protection Amendment?

The Human Life Protection Amendment is a grassroots citizens initiative to amend the Florida Constitution to recognize the right to life of the preborn, the most victimized and vulnerable people group in our state.

In order to accomplish this, we need to secure 891,589 signed and validated petitions from registered voters across the state of Florida by February 1, 2024.

We need your help! Please print and sign the petition today. Would you like to help beyond that? Sign up to volunteer on one of our county teams or make a donation to support our efforts.

The Proposed Amendment

Article I, New Section. Preborn Human Life.

(a) RIGHT. The right to life of the preborn individual is God-given, thus unalienable and recognized accordingly. Therefore, it shall not be infringed at any stage of development.

(b) DEFINITION. The term “preborn individual” in this section means a preborn human person at any stage of development.

(c) APPLICABILITY. The unintentional death of a preborn individual shall not be construed to violate this section when resulting from,

(1) the undertaking of life-saving procedures to save the life of the mother when accompanied by reasonable steps to save the life of the preborn individual,

(2) a spontaneous miscarriage, or spontaneous fetal demise.

(d) EFFECTIVE DATE. This amendment shall become effective immediately upon approval by the voters.

(e) IMPLEMENTATION. Upon the effective date of this section, all laws, judicial precedents, and acts contrary to this section shall be null, void, and deemed repealed to the extent of any conflict with this section.

“The Human Life Protection Amendment will protect our preborn brothers and sisters from the moment of fertilization. This amendment also recognizes the value of every human life regardless of the circumstances of conception. My biological mother was raped as a teenager. I am grateful that my life was protected by law in the state of Michigan decades ago. I was adopted and loved. I did not deserve the death penalty for the crimes of my biological father. Florida must protect every human life without exception.”

“One of the most important fundamental responsibilities of civil government is the protection of human life. That’s why I sponsored the Heartbeat bill while in office.

“We treat the preborn in the womb as patients and patients have rights. Centers across the country are now performing life-saving fetal blood transfusions, fetal open heart surgery, fetal spina bifida corrective surgery, and fetal laser vascular surgery. A patient is a person no matter how small.

Join us as we not only support pregnant mothers, but save the lives of babies in the womb and serve the Kingdom of our Lord in defending His preborn. The Human Life Protection Amendment will be an excellent tool to accomplish that goal.”

“Roe v Wade may be overturned, but it is not over! Innocent little baby boys and girls are still being unmercifully killed by the barbaric act of abortion in the Sunshine State. These are crimes against humanity. As the greatest civil and human rights issue of today, it must be treated as such. The Human Life Protection Amendment would set the unborn free, protecting each one of these precious babes at all stages of development. The same rights that you and I share, the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, must be extended to the youngest in our state, and this amendment will work to do this. I am in full support!”

"Florida Voice for the Unborn enthusiastically supports the Human Life Protection Amendment because it will enshrine the right to life of our state's preborn children – from the moment of conception – in Florida's governing document. Such an amendment will permanently protect the preborn from the changing whims of politicians in Tallahassee. Please sign the petition today!"

“Despite its growing reputation for affirming freedom under the leadership of Governor Ron DeSantis, the freedom of 75,000 pre-born individuals is cut short annually by abortion. It’s time to rebuild the wall of protection around Florida. Banning abortion only after 15 weeks gestation isn’t remotely acceptable!

As long as 75,000 image bearers of God are still being sacrificed, Floridians cannot, in good conscience, bask in their freedom. Take a stand for these precious lives by circulating the petition to get the Human Life Protection Amendment on the ballot.”
Adam McManus, Show Host

“The most fundamental right of a person, at any stage, is life itself. The Human Life Protection Amendment seeks to secure this God-given right to life for the unborn within the Florida Constitution. I encourage Florida voters to support this effort and sign the petition today. If we don’t protect innocent life, we truly have no other liberty."

"Good constitutional provisions should be clear and concise, and the Human Life Protection Amendment is just that. The proposed amendment enshrines the right to life of the preborn in the Florida constitution. As the paramount human right, the right to life should be protected at the highest level of man-made law, and that is within the state's foundational governing document. Signing the petition gets us one step closer to ensuring that the right to life of the preborn will be placed beyond the whims of courts and the reach of the well-funded abortion lobby."

Gualberto Garcia Jones, Executive Director

"The Human Life Protection Amendment is urgently needed. The ongoing and even escalating slaughter of unborn children in Florida is unconscionable and must be brought to an end. Protecting life in the Constitution is the surest and strongest way to make sure no more unborn babies are killed, regardless of what radical courts or legislators think. This is long overdue. With the nation and the world watching Florida, it is past time for our state to lead on this most critical of issues."

"The unborn are unable to speak in their own defense; therefore, be it resolved that we reaffirm our historic commitment to the sacredness of human life.

"I encourage all Florida residents of good will to stand up for the right to life of our littlest brothers and sisters and support the FL Human Life Protection Amendment. This is not complicated: it is a scientific fact that life begins at conception and to directly, intentionally kill innocent human life is evil and ought to be illegal in law and unthinkable in culture. Use whatever talents and influence you have to keep pushing. God sees."

"Because we bear the image of God, all mankind, and, by extension, each and every human life has a “specialness” and worth that demands respect. Each human life, from its earliest stage of development, is a unique Person which bears God’s likeness, and should have the same protection of law that is afforded other “persons” in our society. For this reason, all human life should be respected in law. This respect is due regardless of the manner of conception."

"Scripture is clear about life. It’s sacred because we are made in God’s image. This value is UNMOVABLE . Only when we see life as God does, do we understand the importance of the Human Life Protection Amendment. It recognizes life from conception, regardless of circumstances, and is a voice for the most innocent and vulnerable. I am grateful for, and in full support of this initiative that will protect life and liberty."

"I’m blessed and honored to support the Florida Human Life Protection Amendment and I urge others to join me. The best statement I can make is to quote Section 1-a of the amendment itself, “The right to life of the preborn individual is God-given, thus unalienable and recognized accordingly. Therefore, it shall not be infringed at any stage of development.” Let us pray that this effort will establish Florida as a state where life is truly respected and also pray that the other 49 states will follow Florida’s lead."

“I was almost 13 when Roe v Wade was passed. My dad was a doctor and I remember him telling the kids at the dinner table what had just happened. Even at that young age I knew that abortion was wrong. I spent the next 49 years praying and working for the overturning of Roe. We have much work to do until abortion is not only illegal but unthinkable. I urge all Florida residents to support the Human Life Protection Amendment. Every state needs to do this.”

"The 'Final Chapter Of The Civil Rights Movement' is about persons or personhood — not one "race" of people, but humanity itself. It proceeds from the fundamental question, is your right to live inherent because you are a human being or does it depend on whether or not someone wants you? Florida's Human Life Protection Amendment embraces personhood, the "Final Chapter Of The Civil Rights Movement" and understands that each person who is spared because of it, will receive a priceless gift — the chance to write the chapters of his or her own life story."
