The Florida House of Representatives passed a bill Thursday that will require parents or a legal guardian to consent to a minor child’s abortion.
The legislation was approved by the State Senate earlier this month and now heads to the desk of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who promised to sign it into law during his State of the State address in January.
As the Miami Herald reported, with the governor’s signature, the parental consent law will be reinstated after it was declared unconstitutional 30 years ago.
“In the Sunshine State, a young girl needs a parent or guardian’s approval before she gets a tattoo, but she can undergo an invasive, often dangerous procedure without any input from mom or dad,” Liebel said. “Parents ought to have the right to protect and support their young daughters.”
The measure also increases the penalty for medical providers and abortionists who do not comply with Florida’s mandate to provide care to infants born alive during a failed abortion.
