The Florida Supreme Court made some big decisions on Monday that knocked the wind out of Planned Parenthood’s sails. First off, they upheld a 15-week limit on abortion, which means Florida’s six-week abortion limit is about to come charging in like a herd of elephants. Governor Ron DeSantis, a Republican powerhouse, signed this bad boy into law in 2022, and you can bet Planned Parenthood wasn’t too happy about it. So, naturally, they scurried off to court to try to squash it, but the Supreme Court wasn’t having any of that nonsense. In their ruling, they basically said, “Nice try, Planned Parenthood, but you can’t just waltz in here and expect us to toss out a law that’s totally constitutional.”
Florida Supreme Court Upholds 15-Week Abortion Limit, But Voters Will Decide in November https://t.co/JYm3PnwBir via @BreitbartNews

And as if that wasn’t enough of a blow to Planned Parenthood, the court also gave the green light for a proposed amendment that would put the right to abortion in the state constitution to appear on the ballot in November. This little gem is backed by a coalition of left-wing groups (surprise, surprise) including Planned Parenthood and the ACLU. They thought they were being sly by trying to enshrine abortion rights in the constitution, but the justices saw right through their shenanigans. They basically said, “Sorry, but you can’t pull a fast one on us. This amendment isn’t misleading voters, and it’s fair game for the ballot.”
Now, these decisions have got the pro-abortion and pro-life camps at each other’s throats. Those who support abortion are crying foul over the court’s decision to uphold the 15-week limit, while the pro-life folks are cheering it on. And then there’s the amendment to consider. If it gets at least 60% support from voters in November, it would torpedo the six-week limit and make abortion a permanent fixture in Florida. You can bet that’s got the pro-lifers shaking in their boots.
But wait, there’s more! President Joe Biden’s campaign is already salivating at the thought of turning Florida into a pro-abortion paradise. They think they can use this issue to win over voters and pump up their base. Talk about shameless politicking!
In the end, it looks like the Florida Supreme Court came down hard on Planned Parenthood’s dream of unlimited abortion rights in the state. This is a huge win for the pro-life movement and a big blow to the abortion industry. And if November rolls around and that amendment gets the boot from voters, well, let’s just say Planned Parenthood will be in for a world of hurt.
