CNN —A six-week ban on abortion set to take effect in Florida next month will severely limit abortion access in a state that is one of the country’s most populous and one that has become a key access point amid widespread restrictions in the region.
In South Carolina, there was a 70% decrease in abortions just one month after the state enforced a six-week limit.
Florida will join Georgia and South Carolina with a six-week ban.
“This six-week ban leaves an even narrower window for people to access care, and I think it’s going to be too late for so many.
“We plan to remain open and continue to provide abortion care as long as we can,” she said.
