The Florida Senate plenum approved SB 300, which seeks to limit the right to abortion to six weeks of pregnancy.

The project was approved on Monday with 26 votes in favor and 13 against.

What changes does the SB 300 offer?

SB 300 proposes to change the conditions under which pregnant women in Florida are allowed to have abortions.

It is proposed to reduce the period during which a person can have an abortion from 15 to 6 weeks, only in circumstances approved by the legislator. The measure retains medical exceptions and fatal fetal anomalies.

The only two factors in which a pregnant person would be allowed to have an abortion would only be if they were raped or if incest was committed.

However, the survivor of rape or incest must “provide a copy of a restraining order, police report, medical record or other court order, or documentation showing that she obtains a termination of pregnancy because she is the victim of rape or incest”. read the measurement.

The House of Representatives is also seeking to restrict abortion

In the coming days, the House of Representatives is expected to consider its own version of the bill (HB 7).

If the measure is approved, it would go to Governor Ron DeSantis’ office.
