John,
From 1868 to 1972, terminating a pregnancy was illegal in Florida.
Today Florida goes back to that 104 year period as DeSantis's draconian 6-week ban —the one my opponent voted for — goes into effect. I know that this is a hard moment for many of us. I also know that we must take our anger and turn it into action.
As your State Senator, I was proud to fight back against any attempt to roll back reproductive freedom in Florida.
Let’s be clear: I’m the only pro-choice candidate in the race for Clerk and Comptroller. During his time in the State House, my opponent voted multiple times to ban reproductive freedom in Florida, including the extreme 6-week ban, before many women even know they are pregnant!
We all know how difficult it is to get a doctor’s appointment on short notice. Now try getting 2 in-person doctor visits with a 24 hour window in-between as this dangerous law requires!
It’s more clear than ever that we need pro-choice leaders at every level of government. The Clerk of Court and Comptroller oversees our justice system and our budget, and we can’t allow an anti freedom extremist like my opponent to use either as an opportunity to further restrict the rights of Florida women.
Politicians and the government should not be making women’s reproductive healthcare decisions!
