The Florida Senate Rules Committee will be taking up Senate Bill 476 (House Bill 651) on Monday (Feb. 26) at 2:00 p.m. (ET). This bill targets abortion providers, abortion-seeking patients, and people who help them by allowing lawsuits for “wrongful death” of an “unborn child.” This is the final committee stop in the Florida Senate.

We're urging every Florida League member to contact the members of the Senate Rules Committee and tell them to vote NO on Senate Bill 476!
