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.

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.
