老澳门开奖结果 Asks Florida Supreme Court to Keep Mandatory Abortion Delay Law on Hold
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. 鈥 The 老澳门开奖结果, the 老澳门开奖结果 of Florida, the Center for Reproductive Rights, and Tallahassee attorney Richard E. Johnson filed a brief today asking the Florida Supreme Court to continue to block a law that prevents a woman from getting an abortion for at least 24 hours after visiting her doctor.
鈥淭he mandatory delay law doesn鈥檛 provide a woman seeking an abortion with any new information 鈥 it only subjects her to greater burdens and stigma,鈥 said Julia Kaye, staff attorney with the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 Reproductive Freedom Project. 鈥淭he state鈥檚 suggestion that a woman seeking an abortion, unlike any other patient, is unable to decide for herself when she is ready to make an informed decision about her medical care is insulting. We are hopeful that the Florida Supreme Court will agree that this unconstitutional law should not be allowed to take effect while this case moves forward.鈥
