New Educational Resource on Florida's Privacy Clause

A video is now available as a companion resource to our Culture of Life brochure addressing our state constitution's privacy clause. Due to an interpretation of this right to privacy, the Florida Supreme Court found in 1989 that a law requiring parental consent prior to a minor's abortion was unconstitutional, even though similar laws have been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court.
 
We thank Senator Stargel and Representative Grall who have filed bills this session on this topic. Provisions in SB 1774 and HB 1335 address concerns raised by the court with the parental consent law passed in 1988. We look forward to the Florida Supreme Court upholding this version of a good law that ensures a parent provides consent before a minor terminates her pregnancy.
