A Republican lawmaker in Florida has proposed a bill that would prevent physicians from performing most abortions after around six weeks of pregnancy — before many women know they are pregnant.
Under the bill, anybody who successfully sues an abortion provider under the law would be entitled to collect at least $10,000, to be paid out by the offending physician. Similar to the Texas law, anybody other than state officials are empowered to sue suspected abortion providers and those who knowingly aid someone in seeking an abortion.
Unlike the law in Texas, Barnaby's bill permits exemptions for abortions in the instance of rape, incest, domestic violence, human trafficking, or a health condition that threatens the mother. But documentation is required to obtain the exemption. Representative Anna Eskamani, a Florida Democrat, called the proposed legislation a "gross excuse of a bill" that "attacks women and birthing people."
. DeSantis in July also signed a brief along with nine other Republican governors asking the Supreme Court to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.The Texas law, known as S.B. 8, went to effect on September 1, becoming the most restrictive abortion law in the country. The Supreme Court did not rule on the law before it went into effect, but then, in a 5-4 decision the day after, chose not to block enforcement of the law why litigation against it is pending.
