Last night was a new low for the elected leaders working to attack our rights. Not only did the Florida House of Representatives pass a cruel abortion ban in the cover of darkness — student activists making their voices heard were also targeted by law enforcement.🧵
Abortion rights supporters were not even allowed to remain in the gallery as the vote occurred. Yes, you heard that right. They've taken their undemocratic tactics to a whole new level.
Florida's House leadership did this on purpose: they know that Floridians do not support this
abortion ban. They never have. The only strategy they have left is to silence our voices — in the legislative process and beyond.
abortion ban. They never have. The only strategy they have left is to silence our voices — in the legislative process and beyond.
But our movement will not be silenced. We stand in full support of our volunteers + staff who bravely came to the Capitol not only on Wednesday, but in the weeks leading up to the vote. And we will continue to push back until this abortion ban is defeated. #BansOffOurBodies
