Republican bill would ban nearly all abortions in Florida

On the eve of the opening of the Florida legislative session, a Republican lawmaker filed a bill that essentially bans all abortions in Florida.

Miami-Dade County Rep. David Borrero’s proposed bill (HB 1519), filed Monday, states that “a person or an entity may not purposely perform or attempt to perform an abortion except to save the life of a pregnant woman in a medical emergency.” The proposed bill says “a person exists from the moment of fertilization.”

Borrero, of Sweetwater, wants the law to go into effect instead of the six-week ban approved in 2023. That law is pending the outcome of a Florida Supreme Court decision over whether the right to privacy enshrined in State Constitution includes a right to abortion.

His proposal includes penalties for physicians who perform abortions. It says “performing or attempting to perform an abortion” would be a third-degree felony, subject to as much as 10 years in prison or with a fine of up to $100,000, “or both.” The mothers would not be charged with a crime for obtaining an abortion.

3. That makes most birth control pills illegal too

They prevent implanttaion. So they would arrest almost every prescribing GP or OB/GYN.

They literally want women to be nothing but brood mares.

It will not be long before they try to undo women having their own bank accounts,

4. And just like that Florida turns blue....

....these stupid motherfuckers never learn anything.

5. As we've seen in Texas, banning "almost all" abortions is the same as banning ALL abortions.

Judges will make medical decisions that involve the life of pregnant women, and they will not be made on a medical basis.

6. That's right, piss off the women even more.

7. That will get woman to the polls.
