We can all agree that people should be able to seek justice and financial compensation if someone’s negligence causes the loss of their pregnancy, as Florida law already allows. However, a proposed bill, HB 1517, could have serious consequences that make it much harder for patients to access important reproductive health care.
The sponsors of this bill want you to think they proposed it because expectant parents don’t have the right to seek justice if someone’s negligence causes the loss of their pregnancy. But the truth is, they already have that right. This is an attempt to rewrite the law to treat embryos and fetuses the same as living children, part of a long-term strategy to further strip away our freedom to make personal health care decisions.
