TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — The Florida House of Representatives is expected to pass a bill Wednesday that would ban abortion in the state after 15 weeks of pregnancy, about eight weeks earlier than the current standard.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has previously voiced support for the bill.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle questioned the bill’s sponsor, Vero Beach Republican Rep. Erin Grall, for hours at the state house chamber Tuesday.
“There are all these decisions from our State Supreme Court interpreting our state constitutional provision of privacy. Is it your position that those decisions are wrong as well?,” asked Fla. Democrat Rep. Ben Diamond, St. Petersburg.
