Monday’s decision also triggered a six-week abortion ban to take effect in 30 days. The comes after Governor Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) signed the heartbeat protection act in April of last year.
Meanwhile, the bench also ruled that a constitutional amendment enshrining abortion will appear on the state’s ballot.
State Senator Erin Grall (R-Fla.) said Florida should protect unborn babies. She stated that the decision is not government over-reach.
“This is not about government interference and abortion, but rather about allowing abortion up to the moment of birth, eliminating parental consent for minors, and allowing non-medical workers to diagnose patients, determine fetal viability, and approve late term abortions,” Grall said. “We must shine a light on barbarism of this effort and its extreme conflict with a culture in Florida that values life.”
In the ruling, justices wrote that Planned Parenthood was unable to demonstrate that the 15-week ban is unconstitutional.
