Florida Democrat files bill to change sixweek abortion ban after mother was forced to watch newborn suffocate
Jan 16, 2025
Democratic state Sen. Tina Polsky filed a bill Thursday changing the definition of fatal fetal abnormality in the state’s law banning most abortions after six weeks’ gestation. The Democrat representing parts of Palm Beach and Broward counties decided to file SB 288 after hearing about a Florida woman who had to watch her baby suffocate for 94 minutes after birth while Florida’s 15-week abortion ban was in effect, according to a press release.
