Florida Republican files abortion bill similar to Texas's
A Republican state lawmaker in Florida filed an abortion bill similar to Texas's new, controversial restrictions on abortions after six weeks of pregnancy .
House Bill 167, filed by Florida state Rep. Webster Barnaby (R), would prohibit a pregnant person from obtaining an abortion after a "fetal heartbeat" is detected, according to its text.
The measure would provide an exception for instances where a "medical emergency" exists.
The legislation also allows private citizens to sue those who knowingly performs or "aids or abets" in an abortion in violation of the law, "regardless of whether the person knew or should have known that the abortion" would have not been allowed.
