Dear Friend,
Florida Republicans have once again demonstrated a complete disregard for the women of our state and for our collective freedoms by filing SB300/HB7 — a bill to ban abortion in Florida at six weeks.
This bill is extreme, dangerous, and will force millions of people out of state to seek care and others will be forced into pregnancy. Most people do not even know they are pregnant until after six weeks, so this six week ban might as well be a complete ban.
Last week HB7 passed its first committee stop in the Florida House. I filed an amendment to strike the abortion ban, but it failed along a party line vote.
Now the bill will be heard in the Senate this Monday at 3:30pm.
These Senators have a decision to make – do they support the near-total abortion ban and the twisted views of anti-abortion extremists, or do they stop the ban and trust Floridians and their doctors to make the personal medical decisions right for them?
Send the email here and tell them to vote NO on SB300. Forward this email to five friends and ask them to help stop the ban, too.
As Americans, we won’t be truly free until everyone can make decisions about their own bodies, lives, reproductive care, and futures. Which is why we will continue to fight like hell against this ban, and all new abortion bans.
Onward,
Rep. Anna V. Eskamani
