Judge Blocks New Florida Law That Delays Abortions 24 Hours

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. | A Florida judge is blocking a new state law that requires women to wait 24 hours before getting an abortion.

Chief Circuit Judge Charles Francis on Tuesday blocked the law one day before it was scheduled to take effect.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Florida and the Center for Reproductive Rights sued after Republican Gov. Rick Scott signed it into law. They argued that the law violates the right to privacy guaranteed in the state constitution by interfering with the right of women to undergo the procedure.

"We are very pleased that the court saw this law for what it is: an unconstitutional attack on the right of Florida women to make their own choices about their healthcare, including abortion," ACLU of Florida Legal Director Nancy Abudu said in a written statement.

1. The Black president outraged the racists, bigots, Woman hating filth and they are now working

overtime to harm as many Women and minorities as possible.

I call it a war, but that is just me.
