Several abortion clinics have filed a lawsuit to challenge Florida's new abortion law and get a temporary injunction to keep it from taking effect July 1st. Under current law, Florida allows abortions up to 24 weeks. The new law will prevent abortions from being performed in the state after 15 weeks – reducing the amount of time by more than two months.
A judge will hear arguments this month in a case that could ultimately test whether a privacy clause in the Florida Constitution will protect abortion rights.
Attorneys for the state are fighting an attempt to block a 15-week abortion limit that is slated to take effect July 1. A judge will hear arguments this month in a case that could ultimately test whether a privacy clause in the Florida Constitution will protect abortion rights.
