Door knocking, TV ads, websites: The abortion battle heats up in Florida and it’s getting ugly

When Lucy Rodriguez knocks on a front door in West Palm Beach, she connects with the Hispanic resident about Florida’s proposed abortion protections in a way they can relate. “I’m from the Dominican Republic and I fled for freedom,” she says. “I don’t want my freedoms taken away from me by the government.” The Dominican Republic is not the only Latin American country where abortion is a crime or where oppressive governments have triggered residents to flee to South Florida, and that’s what Rodriguez hopes to tap into as she rallies support for Florida’s abortion rights amendment. Campaigns for and against an amendment enshrining abortion rights in Florida’s constitution are heating up, with election day less than two months away.
