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!
