@floricuas After the Florida Supreme Court on Monday issued a ruling upholding Gov. Ron DeSantis’ 15-week abortion ban that will allow a six-week ban to take effect in 30 days, House Democrats held a “field hearing” in Broward County to meet with Florida women who have been impacted by the state’s restrictive abortion laws. In the meeting, Florida Democratic state Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz explained what the court’s decision will mean for women and families in Florida and across the south. On Monday, the court also approved a ballot amendment that would allow Floridians to vote to enshrine abortion protections in the state constitution. 🖊️: @gcbalido 📸: N/A
