Florida allows abortion ban before many women even know they’re pregnant
Yesterday’s Florida Supreme Court ruling triggered the state’s extreme near-total abortion ban to soon take effect. This abortion ban will have a devastating impact on Florida women who are now living with one of the most severe and restrictive abortion bans in the country.
Florida was previously a hotspot in the South for abortion access. Florida saw a sharp increase in abortion procedures, likely due to an influx of out-of-state patients who will now have to travel even further for abortion care.
Anna Paulina Luna’s deliberate silence on the latest draconian law is shocking given her self-described “pro-life extremist” title. Luna celebrated the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, which paved the way for Florida’s abortion ban. Her Republican Study Committee released a budget which calls for passing the Life at Conception Act – which would ban abortion nationwide with no exceptions.
Yet Luna is too scared to specifically talk about DeSantis’ latest ban. Perhaps it’s because she knows that 67% of Floridians support abortion rights and do not want politicians interfering with their personal health care decisions.
DCCC Spokesperson Lauryn Fanguen:
“Florida women deserve to know where Anna Paulina Luna stands on this near-total abortion ban. Luna can’t avoid her anti-abortion record and despite her best efforts to disappear right now, her silence speaks volumes.”
