State Sen. Dennis Baxley files ‘heartbeat’ bill
By Joe Callahan
奥卡拉星报
摘抄： Amy Weintraub, the Reproductive Rights Program director for Progress Florida, said the two bills are clearly “attention-getting moves” and will not gain any traction. Weintraub said fetal heartbeats are normally detected about six weeks into a pregnancy. She said women do not find out they are pregnant until after six weeks. “It is so blatantly unconstitutional that it will never be upheld by the Florida Supreme Court,” said Weintraub, adding that lawmakers should be focused on other women’s health issues. She said both bills are a blatant attempt to end access to abortion care in Florida.
