Abortion Ruling Info Specifically for Floridians:

[FM123]

9. Definitely fingers crossed!

In their announcement of the legal contest to HB 5, the ACLU’s Twitter thread read:

We’re suing Florida over their ban on abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The ban also threatens to put doctors in jail for providing essential care beyond that point.

Florida, we’ll see you in court.

The ban would have a devastating effect on abortion access in a state where access is already restricted.

Resulting barriers will force Floridians to remain pregnant against their will, endangering their families, health, and lives.

The Florida state constitution provides broad protections for individual privacy rights — including the right to abortion.

This ban blatantly violates that constitutional right.

We won’t stop fighting for Floridians’ fundamental right to get the care they need.
