Starting today, the state of Florida requires a doctor to perform an ultrasound prior to any abortion service, whether it is medically necessary or not. #
Women will have to sign a waiver if they decide they do not want to see the ultrasound or if they do not want to be forced to listen to a description of it. Earlier versions of the legislation did not provide such a provision. Even though the final bill did provide a way to opt out of a forced description, the bill still received bipartisan opposition. #
During the last legislative session, then-Gov. Charlie Crist vetoed a bill similar to H.B. 1127. Crist said such legislation would “place an inappropriate burden on women seeking to terminate a pregnancy.” #
However, the GOP’s supermajority in both Florida’s state House and Senate — and its newly elected republican governor — provided the perfect political climate to reintroduce the bill. #
This bill was one of five bills aimed at limiting abortion access in the state. #
