Florida’s 15-Week Abortion Ban Is Reinstated after Initially Being Blocked
A Florida law banning abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy has been reinstated after a judge blocked it this week.
The bill, titled the Reducing Fetal and Infant Mortality Act (HB 5), was signed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis in April and went into effect July 1. The measure bans abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy except in cases of life-threatening medical emergencies and fatal fetal abnormality.
