This amendment does not change the legislature’s constitutional authority to require notification to a parent or guardian before a minor has an abortion."
So this amendment continues the Florida requirements that were in place before Roe was overturned. It does not add any new abortion rights that were not in place in Florida. And there absolutely are limits on abortion just back to exactly what it was before Roe was overturned, viability (the ability of the unborn to survive being outside the womb) ends the right to terminate unless the mother's life is endangered.
For a review see the LWV link above or this summary of the honesty of the ads you are seeing Getting the facts on confusing Florida Amendment 4 abortion ads

I believe that Roe was settled law and should NOT have been changed.
