by Joseph Earnest January 4, 2012
Newscast Media AUSTIN, Texas — Lawmakers have once again submitted the "Florida for Life Act" to the Florida Legislature. If enacted, the bill would make abortions not related to medical emergencies a first-degree felony, and any person who operates an abortion-performing facility would be imprisoned for life. Below are excerpts of the bill.
INDUCED ABORTION PROHIBITED.— (Page 9 of 30)
