“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.”
Pam Stenzel, Board Member

“New Life Solutions is thrilled to support the Human Life Protection Amendment. Our calling and our charge is to be a voice for the voiceless, a defender of the defenseless, and to provide for those most vulnerable. One of the most vulnerable populations in our society today who need a voice to speak up for them are the preborn children. The Human Life Protection Amendment embraces this charge and will ensure innocent preborn children are protected from the moment of conception.”
Charles J. DiMarco, President/CEO
New Life Solutions
“The Hosea Initiative fully supports the efforts of the Human Life Protection Amendment and urges all life-minded Floridians to sign the petition as soon as possible. This could very well be the means that God uses to help correct the widespread deception that currently denies the right to life of the pre-born child in Florida.”
Terry Beatley, President
Hosea Initiative
“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. Seeing the lack of political will to support even this confirmed for me that protecting all preborn human life with a Florida constitutional amendment is necessary, legitimate and justified.”
Mike Hill, Former State Representative
Florida House District 2
“As the director of Leesburg’s Pregnancy & Family Care Center for the past 20 years, I wholeheartedly support the Human Life Protection Amendment. This amendment honors God by protecting all preborn human life without exception, which is exactly what we need in Florida.”
Wanda Kohn
WORLD’s Daniel of the Year, 2007 Award Recipient
“Action for Life Florida fully supports the proposed Human Life Protection Amendment. Our most precious resource is the next generation of children including pre-born children. We encourage all Florida voters to sign the petition to place this important constitutional amendment on the 2024 ballot.”
BC Cloutier, President and Producer
Action for Life TV

Fr. Stephen Imbarrato, Founder and President
LifeMinistriesUS
“I fully support the Human Life Protection Amendment. It’s a scientifically proven fact that abortion at any stage of development terminates a human life. We must protect every preborn child from the evil of abortion.”
Mike Essen, Talk Show Host
The Mike Essen Show: South Florida’s Conservative Voice
“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.”
Dr. William Lile, DO, FACOG
ProLifeDoc
“LIFE Runners passionately supports the Human Life Protection Amendment to protect all preborn lives in Florida. The first duty of the government is to protect its people. As a Ph.D. nano-analytical chemist, I can attest that life and personhood begin at conception. We are racing with you to cross the finish line that ends abortion. All In Christ for Pro-Life!”
Dr. Pat Castle, Founder
LIFE Runners
“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!”
Michele Herzog, Director
Pro-Life Action Ministries Central Florida
“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!”
Andrew Shirvell, Founder & Executive Director
Florida Voice for the Unborn
“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 Worldview in 5 Minutes
“There is nothing more basic than the right to life, so I rejoice that Floridians are able to affirm that right in this vital amendment. Now is the time to stand up for life, and I applaud those who are doing so!”
Eric Metaxas, Author
New York Times #1 Bestseller, Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy
“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.”
David Gibbs III, President and General Counsel
National Center for Life and 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
International Human Rights Group
“The Human Life Protection Amendment is an opportunity for the citizens of Florida to clearly declare that all life has value and is in need of protection. This initiative is not a stepping stone but an absolute truth worthy of support.”
Katherine Gratto, Executive Director
Sira Pregnancy Center
“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. The Florida Church of God supports the Human Life Protection Amendment and their desire to preserve God assigned special value to human life. We join together with pro-life advocates to defend the sanctity and dignity of life for the unborn and born alike.”
Bishop Tim Brown, State Administrative Bishop
Florida Church of God
“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.”
Jim Havens, Co-Founder
The National Men's March to Abolish Abortion and Rally for Personhood
“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.”
Daniel Becker, President Emeritus
Personhood Alliance and Georgia Right to Life
“Pro-Life Partners Foundation applauds Florida’s Human Life Protection Amendment. May this initiative inspire our nation to honor unalienable rights – rights that exist the moment we exist. Doing so will go a long way to healing our nation.”
Michael Kenney, President
Pro-Life Partners Foundation
“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.”
Gary Crawford, Founder and CEO
Gary Crawford Leadership, Global Missions 365, & Amazon Vision Ministries
“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.”
Bishop Joseph E. Strickland
Diocese of Tyler, Texas
“I strongly support this initiative. It’s a great way to protect the lives of unborn children.”
Anthony Sabatini, Attorney
Former State Representative, Florida House District 32
“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.”
Bishop Joseph L Coffey
Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA
“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.”
Walter B. Hoye II

Exodus 1:15-21
“I encourage people in the Sunshine State to support The Human Life Protection Amendment. Let’s make certain Florida stands for the preborn!”
