SB404 prohibits physicians from performing abortions on minors without first obtaining the consent of a parent or legal guardian.
The Florida State House of Representatives passed SB404 on July 1, 2020 by a vote of 75 to 43. 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 disallowing minors from unilaterally electing to abort a pregnancy without the consent of a parent. The right to life is fundamental, God-given, and protected by the 5th and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.
