Last month, Florida’s Supreme Court ruled abortion rights are not constitutionally protected, allowing the near-total ban to be enforced.

  • This is very BAD we need at least 11 weeks. Unless the gov is willing to provide housing medical care and proper food to all these women and their babies untill the children are a least 12 yrs of age this will just increase the numbers of underhoused working poor in those states.
