125. I'd like to point out that existing law in Florida allows a minor to get
an abortion without parental permission. In this case the DFC, under Jebbie Bush, is trying to delay this girl's abortion until she is in the second trimester making it more difficult legally and risker to get that abortion.

DFC knows darned well, that had L.G. the time to go though the court system in Florida all the way to the Supreme Court, that L.G. would be granted the right to the abortion. They are trying to do an end run around the law in order to force their will on this girl and all other girls (and women) in the state.

The ideologues that run the state government now have tried many times to curtail abortion rights in this state, especially for minors. However, they keep running up against the State Constitution which, unlike the Federal Constitution, does have the right to privacy in actual form, rather than implied form.

Be warned people: If they are successful here, they will try and try and try until they have dominion over your part of the country too.
