Rep Randy Fine opens the committee by letting us know that there will be no public comment today.
Fine also said that if he can hear the public “breathe” they will be removed from the committee — welcome to the Free State of Florida
Dr Scott Ackerman will be the first to speak. Ackerman is a long time DeSantis donor and describes himself as a “strong believer in individualized patient care”… except for trans people.
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.
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.
