@floricuas In September, the Florida Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a lawsuit brought by Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union that challenges the 15-week abortion ban Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law in 2022. If the court ultimately approves the 15-week ban, a six-week ban signed into law by DeSantis this year would take effect 30 days later. This would cut off access to abortion early in the first trimester, before many women know they’re pregnant. The Court’s decision is expected in the near future, but even before any decision is announced, DeSantis’ war on reproductive rights is already wreaking havoc on women’s health and lives, Democratic Florida Representative Rita Harris told Floricua. #reproductiverights #florida #SCOTUS #abortion #abortionrights
