Washington, DC–(ENEWSPF)–April 22, 2016. The Florida Supreme Court today blocked a 2015 measure which forces a woman to wait at least 24 hours and make at least one additional, medically unnecessary trip before she is able to receive safe, legal abortion care. The law—which an appellate court allowed to take effect in February—fails to include any protections for a woman whose pregnancy threatens her health or a meaningful exception for survivors of rape, incest, or intimate partner violence.
