We are in amendments. @LindaStewartFL starts with an amendment to reduce the physician sign-off requirement from two to one. "Under normal circumstances, it's not easy to get an appointment with an OB/GYN."
.@senpizzo talks about his family's difficult pregnancy and the trust he had in his doctor. "I never thought about getting a second opinion."
Sen. Stargell's opposition to this amendment assumes all pregnant people have access to costly specialists. However, approximately 1 million people in Florida who could get pregnant do not have insurance and do not have such access.
The one-doctor authorization amendment to the Florida abortion ban, #HB5, was voted down by the Senate committee.
