FLORIDA REQUIRES PARENTAL CONSENT BEFORE ABORTIONS
FLORIDA REQUIRES PARENTAL CONSENT BEFORE ABORTIONS
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday signed legislation passed by the state legislature earlier this year that requires doctors to receive written notarized consent from the parents or guardians of minor girls before performing abortion procedures.
The new law is slated to take effect on the first of July, but includes provisions like permitting a physician to perform an abortion in the case of a medical emergency, and allowing minor girls to petition a circuit court. . . .
Editor’s Note: According to a Florida State Senate press release, this bill creates a “penalty for failing to properly attend to an infant born alive during an attempted abortion to a third-degree felony”. . . .

“The serious and irrevocable decision to end a pregnancy involves undergoing a significant medical procedure that results, in many cases, in lifelong emotional and physical impacts,” Florida Senate President Bill Galvano (R-Bradenton) said according to the release. . . .
Editor’s Note: Essentially, parents of a minor, must now be involved in this life altering decision. . . .
For those who are in a situation of abuse or where parental consent is not in the child’s best interest, the bill provides a judicial waiver process that still involves the intervention of an adult.”

Thank you God!
This is a major breakthrough. Thank you Gov. DeSantis and Bill Galvano!
May other state legislators recognize the need for parental involvement for this
invasive and traumatic procedure that their child will undergo. End abortion in our nation Lord!
This news is so encouraging!
PRAISE THE LORD!
THANK YOU, GOD, FOR THIS GREAT VICTORY!
Members of my family were so grateful and so delighted to welcome a darling little baby into their home whose teenage birth mother carried to term.
What joy that sweet little baby has brought to our family. There are no words . . . .
The young mother’s “mistake” became our family’s miracle answer to prayer.
The parents of the child need to know about the pregnancy, so they can help their child through their situation. Ultimately they should help co-raise their grandchild until the parent is well equipped to take over the parenting. My husband and I and our other children helped my daughter raise her child. Her teachers love her. It took a group effort.
Lord You are the Giver of life. Only You Father should say when it is time for a life to be over. May Your will be done concerning abortion. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Father God, thank You for protecting young girls in Florida from making such a critical and permanent decision without the knowledge and counsel of their parents.
In Jesus name I ask that You move many more states to put this safeguard in place.
Amen.
Praise God! May God bless Gov. Ron DeSantis and Senate President Bill Galvano! Praying for God to break abortion off our land.
