Women’s Health Care Bills before the Florida legislature

The decision to continue her pregnancy rests with the woman as do her other health care decisions. As with all people, the woman may consult her family, her doctor, or/and other trusted advisors about her health care decisions BUT the government should not decrease her access to quality health care.

Urge the chairs of the committees to place these bills on their Committee’s meeting agenda.

SB 1036 is the companion bill to HB 709
SB 628 is the companion bill to HB 6023

They include the words:

WHEREAS, comprehensive reproductive health care, including contraception and abortion, is a fundamental component of a woman’s health, privacy, and equality

SB 1036 and SB 628 will stall if Senator Manny Diaz, Jr. doesn’t add it to the agenda for the Senate Committee on Health Policy.

HB 709 and HB 6023 will stall if Representative Robinson doesn’t add it to the agenda for the House Professions & Public Health Subcommittee. Will Robinson email address is will.robinson@myfloridahouse.gov and his phone number is (850) 717-5071
