The Florida Senate on Wednesday moved the state closer to a ban on abortions after 15 weeks.
It considered more than a dozen amendments offered by Democrats, but all were defeated. That tees the bill up for final approval on Thursday, sending the bill Gov. Ron DeSantis’ desk.
“It’s a very different day. We know much more about what is going on with that baby in the womb,” Stargel said. “And I think the court will take that into consideration, especially when they are looking at viability and what this does to a mother.” “We’re going to see senators do their best to highlight how this is unconstitutional to have a record in place for what we assume will be potential litigation,” she said.“There is a right to privacy and that is where the courts will come into play,” she said.
Democratic leader Laure Book pushed back against the tide of almost certain approval by GOP lawmakers.
