Florida Politics reports:
A “heartbeat” bill filed in the Senate could impose one of the strictest laws against abortion in the country.
SB 300, filed by Fort Pierce Republican Sen. Erin Grall, would ban doctors from knowingly performing or inducing a termination of pregnancy after the sixth week of gestation.
This would represent a change from the current 15-week threshold, which legislators hailed as a reasonable compromise when they passed it last year, and would represent the latest in a series of uncompromisingly socially conservative moves from the Legislature.
Read the full article. Grall appeared here last week when she introduced an anti-trans bathroom bill that carries a $10,000 fine. Grall is also the author of last year’s 15-week abortion ban.
Florida Republican state legislators introduced a bill to ban abortions after six weeks – that’s before many know they’re pregnant.
These extremist so-called leaders talk a lot about freedom, while they dare to attack its very foundations.
