For Immediate Release: Sept. 2, 2021
“A Texas-style abortion ban in Florida would be devastating, not just for Florida but for the entire southeastern United States that rely on safe and judgment-free abortion access here,” said Laura Goodhue, Executive Director of the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates. “I don't think Florida politicians fully appreciate the intensity with which this will be opposed by Floridians from all walks of life. The Texas ban turns neighbors into bounty hunters with cash incentives to report anyone who even intends to help someone have an abortion. That’s not health care. That’s not America. A majority of Floridians support Roe v. Wade and we will not tolerate this unconstitutional attack on our freedoms by politicians.”
