Pray for your fellow intercessor.

The latest legislative developments in Florida have sparked controversy as lawmakers push for extensive restrictions on abortion-related activities through House Bill 1519, named the “Termination of Pregnancies.”

One noteworthy aspect, Section 6, introduces Section 390.031 into the Florida Statutes, delineating rigorous regulations on pregnancy termination. The section explicitly mandates that performing or attempting to perform an abortion is only permissible if it aims to save the life of a pregnant woman in a medical emergency.

Going beyond traditional medical settings, the bill addresses actions such as knowingly mailing or sending abortifacients to addresses within the state, disseminating abortifacients without a valid prescription, and intentionally placing abortifacients into the stream of commerce with the knowledge that they are likely to be used in Florida. …

Penalties for violating these provisions are severe, constituting a third-degree felony with a mandatory term of imprisonment not exceeding 10 years or a fine not exceeding $100,000, or both. …

If signed into law, the bill is scheduled to be enacted on July 1, sparking heightened scrutiny and discussions on the implications for reproductive rights and healthcare in the state.

Share your prayers below for the unborn in Florida and in our country, and for justice in our laws.
