In Florida, abortion is illegal for anyone past 6 weeks.

I met a woman who learned she was pregnant a week and a half ago. Today, at 6 weeks & 0 days, she got an abortion.

She was the sole patient the clinic treated. The doctor came in just for her.

Florida’s 6-week ban takes effect today, halting most abortions in the third most populous state.

I witnessed women crying and pleading for help in the final hours at a FL clinic yesterday — where a 24-hour waiting period meant they were already too late. washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/05…

🚨 Florida’s six-week abortion ban takes effect Wednesday.

One clinic just told me they have 70-80 patients on the schedule Monday.

They usually see 10-15.

“I think that should be a matter between the mother and her doctor,” said Tony, a two-time Trump voter.

'We’ve already voted on this. It’s a waste of time.' - Arizona Rep. Jacqueline Parker (R), when her Republican colleague tried to bring the 1864 abortion ban up for a vote to repeal.

Sotomayor tells the story of a Florida woman whose water broke at 16 weeks and was turned away from the hospital. 'She was horrified, went home.... The next day, she bled.'

This is likely the story of Anya Cook, which we reported in The Post last year: washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/…

Since the fall of Roe, hospitals have been turning away pregnant women who needed emergency abortions.

Now the Supreme Court will decide if the Biden admin has the power to penalize those hospitals.
