Anti-abortion politicians are in a panic in Florida

In this episode: Anti-abortion politicians in Florida are in a panic over Amendment 4, the proposed constitutional amendment that would overturn the state’s near-total abortion ban and prevent further government interference with abortion. State police are going door to door to interrogate Floridians who signed the Amendment 4 petition, and political appointees are using taxpayer resources to advertise against the ballot measure. Maya Brown, a political strategist and advisor to the Amendment 4 effort, joins the show to talk about where things stand with the campaign — and a few other key races on the ballot in Florida this fall.
