Florida House passes bill to ban abortions based on disability
Florida | April 30, 2021
Florida doctors would be banned from performing abortions if they know, or should have known, the woman was ending her pregnancy because of a test or diagnosis that the fetus will be born with a disability, under a bill passed by the House on Friday.
Doctors who do end a pregnancy based solely on a physical or mental disability would be guilty of a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison.
