The state of Florida passed an amazing number of abortion restriction laws last year, but one bill they were not able to pass was a ban on all abortions after 20 weeks.

So now they are trying again.

Via Jacksonville.com:

Because, supporters say, a fetus can feel pain after 20 weeks, [Rep. Daniel] Davis has taken a political defibrillator to an effort to ban abortions after 20 weeks. Near identical legislation fizzled in committee last year.

“I think as a society we do not want people to feel pain,” Davis said. “We should do everything we can do to relieve pain.”

…

Davis said he understands there will be opposition, but thinks the bill benefits the state.

“This was brought to me by constituents, and I think it’s the right thing to do,” he said.

What do you want to bet those “constituents” are “Jacksonville For Life?“
