Flori­da Supreme Court Allows Six-Week Abor­tion Ban To Take Effect, Opens Door For Bal­lot Ref­er­en­dum

The rul­ing trig­gers a pro-life law, called the Heart­beat Pro­tec­tion Act, to go into effect as of May 1. The Flori­da law bans abor­tion after six weeks of preg­nan­cy with excep­tions for the life of the moth­er, rape, incest, and rare fatal fetal abnor­mal­i­ties.
