case-by-case basis. is that right? yes. and i ve said this from the beginning when we were talking about the abortion law, that even though there s a right to privacy in florida and even though the law that the legislature passed is unconstitutional, if we put those things aside for a moment, if a case comes to me, we exercise discretion under the new law as we would under the old law. there s a dig difference between a tampa general hospital doctor provided abortion at 24 weeks versus a back alley abortion at 37 weeks. and any good prosecutor who s following the law or looking at the facts of the case and the law before making a charging decision. again, the governor is just upset because i m not kowtowing to his ajen at that. i m the one upholding the law here. the law is clear in florida. a 15-week ban is unconstitutional, and i said i m not going to enforce it. i know that you have been suspended. what is your thought on the an tis paugs of possibly being reinstated by the flor
