County Judge said Florida's abortion law unconstitutional--DeSantis says, "nope"

State of Florida appeals judge’s 15-week abortion law block

The State of Florida confirmed that it is appealing the ruling of Leon County Judge John Cooper, who last week deemed the state’s restriction on abortions after 15 weeks to be “unconstitutional” and announced he would temporarily overturn the statute.

Gov. Ron DeSantis signed House Bill 5 (HB 5) into law in April, restricting abortion after the 15th week of pregnancy, an effective ban on late-term abortions in the state.

Judge Cooper claimed that the measure is unconstitutional because it violates the state constitution’s privacy clause and “does not satisfy the standard” of judgments by the Florida Supreme Court that uphold the state’s legal right to abortion. Cooper’s ruling is predicated on an excerpt of the state constitution that contains a worded right to privacy, though the passage does not explicitly mention abortion.

If our elected officials at the state level voted that we do not want abortion after 15 weeks then that is the law they're representing us the people, we do not want abortion! The next thing that we need to do is eliminate abortions all together in Florida and in the United States it should be outlawed all together! Abortion is murder unborn lives matter please protect the helpless voiceless innocent babies abortion should not be some simple form of birth control it's a very serious matter we're talking about a human life someone with a soul. God has made this person it's not our right to murder and kill them and abort them we need to value all life thank God for our elected officials in Florida and our governor who value life and do not want to see abortion it's a real reflection of humanity and a civilized society. Do we have a civilized society are we humane are we protecting all life? All these crazy liberals care more about protecting rescue dogs than they do about human beings lives, babies in the womb! Unborn lives matter!
