Since ‘Roe’ was overturned last spring, eradicating the federal foundation for legalized abortion, the Biden administration has gotten creative in its attempts to increase abortion access.
The U.S. bishops’ statement noted that last week Biden declared that his top legislative priority after the November elections is to codify a national right to abortion.
Some observers commenting on Swalwell’s ad noted that the scenario that the ad dramatizes has not happened, but instead there have been several high-profile cases in which pro-life protestors have been arrested at their homes in a similar manner.
The legislation, proposed by Graham in the Senate and Smith in the House on Sept. 13, would ban abortion after 15 weeks, except in cases of rape, incest, or when the life of the mother is in danger.
DeSantis signed into law House Bill 5, saying: ‘We’re here today to defend those who can’t defend themselves.’
'Protecting life at this stage of development is important. Well before 15 weeks, the preborn baby already takes on ‘human form’ in all relevant aspects,' the bishops wrote.
The 23-15 vote in the Florida State Senate was along party lines. The bill had passed the House in February.
Many of the briefs were filed by Catholic or pro-life organizations.
