The radical Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade and upending 50 years of precedent is nothing short of devastating. Although abortion remains legal in Florida for now, we know this decision will needlessly harm the lives of millions for years to come.

 

 

For context, my opponents have already called for a complete ban on abortion care in Florida, and here is the vote board from just a few weeks ago when every single member of the Republican Party voted against our amendment to include an excpetion into their 15-week abortion ban for victims of rape and incest:

 

 

And remember, this is from the same folks who opposed 12-weeks of paid maternity pay, expanded Medicaid for young children, and increased education funding.

As a reminder, our seat, this one, is what is keeping Republicans from having a super-majority in Florida. Every seat redder than FL-69 is held by a Republican, every seat bluer by a Democrat. This is the line we must hold.
