You can add “reproductive rights” to the list of things Ron DeSantis wants to ban from the “free state of Florida.”
originatesAbortion is currently legal in Florida up to 15 weeks of pregnancy so, obviously, reducing the window to six weeks would be significant. As abortion is effectively outlawed in nearby Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, Florida has become something of a safe haven for pregnant people in other states who must travel to undergo the medical procedure.
The Florida bill has some—including in instances of rape or fetal abnormalities, and if two doctors “certify in writing that…the termination of the pregnancy is necessary to save the pregnant woman’s life or avert a serious risk of substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function of the pregnant woman”—but, incredibly, “psychological condition[s]” don’t count. It’s not clear if being suicidal would fall under that umbrella but it sounds like it might.
