Over the first four months of 2024, a reported 1,972 abortions were provided to non-Florida residents, according to AHCA. This year, the total was 456.

The state Agency for Health Care Administration data showed that 52,753 abortions had been reported this year as of Thursday, compared to 64,918 last year.

Keep Florida Clean raised about $7.75 million and Florida Freedom Fund picked up nearly $763,000 over a two-week period ending Saturday, according to reports filed with the state.

Floridians Protecting Freedom has raised nearly $109 million in cash since being formed with a goal of getting Amendment 4 on next week's ballot.

Attorneys for the administration filed a document accusing the coalition sponsoring Amendment 4 of “intentionally spreading false factual information” about the state's six-week abortion law.
