The Florida Supreme Court found that the State Constitution’s privacy protections do not extend to abortion. But it also allowed a ballot question on whether to expand abortion access.

Note: “6 weeks” counts from last-period-date, so it means as little as two weeks since conception, which is before many women realize they are pregnant

    With such a short window, I don’t really understand why have a window at all. It betrays the capricious and intentional cruelty of the antichoice movement.

    Of course I don’t understand the mindset of these people to begin with. Any exceptions being permissible – even one which is designed to save a life from a pregnancy complication – undermines the premise that the fetus has an inviolable right to life. If you permit any exceptions at all, it means you do believe that right to life is contingent on external factors… and if that’s the case, what are we even talking about? If decisions can be made about the fetus’s life that it has no say or stake in, then it clearly has no intrinsic right to that life.

    These people (mostly) don’t believe in inviolable right to life. They clearly do not believe in the right to autonomy over one’s own body. Apparently there’s no right to privacy or self-determination in your medical care, either. What the fuck do they believe in? Just some arbitrary interpretation of an ancient, committee-written book that condones slavery, rape, and murder.
