HB1429 bans dismemberment abortion, a ghoulish procedure involving cutting a fetus into pieces to remove it from the mother.
The Florida State House of Representatives passed HB1429 on March 1, 2018 by a vote of 72 to 42. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because, though this bill does not fully protect the life of the unborn, it is a step in the right direction by ending the gruesome procedure of “dismemberment abortion,” a process of dissecting the unborn so to remove it from the mother. The right to life is fundamental, God-given, and protected by the 5th and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.
