A $193,000 fine against the Center of Orlando for Women is threatening to bankrupt the abortion clinic. The state wants to "fine our clinic out of existence," a local volunteer told Insider. The organization Stand With Abortion Now has already crowdfunded nearly half the fine. The volunteers typically help shield patients entering the abortion clinic from anti-abortion activists. Donations from $1 to thousands of dollars have come in from people who want to save "this independent abortion clinic in the south," the volunteer said.

☆ Ron DeSantis quietly signs 6-week abortion ban into law in Florida
  + stars: | 2023-04-14 | by ( Matt Dixon | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +6 min
Ron DeSantis quietly signed legislation Thursday that would ban most abortions after six weeks in Florida, a move that will weigh on his likely 2024 presidential bid. The Florida law bans abortions at six weeks but creates new exemptions for rape and incest up to 15 weeks of pregnancy. Last year, DeSantis signed a 15-week abortion ban passed by the GOP-controlled Legislature that is currently before the Florida Supreme Court. He supports a federal abortion ban. Ambassador Nikki Haley, who announced her candidacy in February, said on NBC's "TODAY" show that she would not support a "full-out federal ban" but would support a federal 15-week abortion ban.
☆ Florida Senate passes six-week abortion ban

Florida currently has a law banning abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, which is being challenged in court. Republicans in the state House of Representatives and Senate filed concurrent bills last month to restrict the procedure further, starting at six weeks of pregnancy. With Republicans controlling the legislature and governorship in Florida, a six-week ban is likely to become law. The fate of the legislation also depends on how the state supreme court rules in a challenge of the 15-week ban. A six-week ban would restrict abortion access across the U.S. South, where most other states have already banned the procedure at early stages of pregnancy.
☆ Florida Republican lawmakers propose a six-week abortion ban

REUTERS/Octavio JonesMarch 7 (Reuters) - Republican lawmakers in Florida filed bills on Tuesday to outlaw most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, a ban that would severely undercut access to the procedure in the U.S. South if passed by the state's Republican-controlled legislature. Data from Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration showed that the number of out-of-state abortion patients rose 38% in 2022 compared to 2021. He has previously said he would sign an abortion ban as early as six weeks. Abortion rights advocates and Democrats, including White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre, spoke out on Tuesday against the new bills, which would ban abortion before many women know they are pregnant.
