In the 2025 Legislative Session, we sent a clear message: politicians are never more qualified to make health care decisions for us than we are. For the first time in recent history, we successfully stopped every bill that sought to further restrict reproductive freedoms.
Now, the worst bills are back and we need your help to defeat them again in 2026. Sign up for updates as these bills move by clicking here.
Legislation to Watch: (routinely updated)
Bad Bills (Oppose):
SB 166 / HB 173 by Senator Erin Grall and Representative Kim Kendall
Banning Health Care for Minors
This bill would ban STI treatment, crisis mental health resources (like a suicide prevention hotline), health surveys, and birth control for minors who can’t involve a parent.
- Not currently on an agenda.
SB 164 / HB 289 by Senator Erin Grall and Representative Sam Greco
This deceptive bill would grant fertilized eggs and embryos the same rights as a living person. That means for a pregnant patient, lawyers, not doctors, will be consulted if they need health care, including in an emergency. This could jeopardize IVF, chemotherapy, and abortion access if the partner, abuser, or rapist of a pregnant patient is able to sue for the loss or termination of the pregnancy.
- Senate: Passed its first of three committees Tuesday, November 4th, (5 votes in favor, 4 opposed).
- House: In its first of two Committees, Civil Justice and Claims Subcommittee, on 11/18 at 8:00am.

Good Bills (Support):
SB 242 / HB 6001 by Senator Kristen Arrington and Representative Kelly Skidmore
Ending Taxpayer-Funded Propaganda
This bill repeals the Florida Pregnancy Care Network which funds anti-abortion centers across the state with $29.5 million of taxpayer money each year. These centers lack medical or safety standards, are not bound by privacy protections (HIPAA), and exist to shame people seeking abortions or birth control.
