Democratic lawmakers on a Florida Senate committee ran out the clock Tuesday on a bill that would require parental consent for abortions, slowing — though not stopping — lawmakers from taking up the controversial proposal during next year’s legislative session…Supporters say that the bill is meant to strengthen families and ensure those decisions include parents or guardians. But opponents have argued that the bill is instead meant to weaken minors’ access to abortions and is a “Trojan horse” meant to put the issue of abortion back before a more conservative state Supreme Court.

摘抄: State Sen. Kelli Stargel, R-Lakeland, who last year babbled when asked to explain millions in tax breaks to Disney and other big tourism companies, is offering useless nonsense in four bills, including one to require a parent’s consent for an abortion. If it passes, that tired challenge to Florida’s law allowing minors to obtain abortions without consent likely will be slapped down by the courts, as it has been over and over during the last 35 years.
