In February, members of the Florida House and Senate passed SB 404<\/a>, a bill that requires parental consent before a minor is allowed to obtain an abortion in the state. Today, Governor Ron DeSantis signed that bill into law.<\/p>\n

But the bill isn’t just about parental consent. It also strengthens penalties against abortionists who choose not to provide lifesaving care to infants who survive abortions.<\/p>\n

According to a previous report<\/a> from Live Action News:<\/p>\n

The parental consent… requirement could help victims of human trafficking<\/a> by requiring additional reporting and consent for minors undergoing elective abortion. The abortion industry, which continues to fight parental consent laws, has a history of ignoring, covering up, and failing to report victims of abuse and victims of human trafficking<\/a> who are coerced into abortions as minors.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Florida abortion industry has a documented history of predatory abortionists<\/a>….<\/em><\/p>\n

According to The Daily Caller<\/a>, the bill was sponsored by state Sen. Kelli Stargel and state Rep. Erin Grall, both Republicans.<\/p>\n
