Florida legislature approves controversial abortion restrictions
Source: Reuters
Florida legislators on Wednesday approved abortion restrictions that include requirements for physicians similar to a Texas law currently under review by the Supreme Court and prohibited state funding for routine care at abortion clinics.
The measure imposes regulations that could force clinics to close, provider Planned Parenthood said. Supporters argue it aims to protect women's health, while opponents called it an attack on groups assisting women in terminating pregnancies.
Lets get Florida out of the abortion business, said State Senator Aaron Bean, a Republican from Jacksonville, during a heated debate. Thats what this bill does.
The legislation passed largely along party lines in the Florida House and Senate, both controlled by Republicans. Republican Governor Rick Scott did not immediately say if he will sign it.
