PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. ā One of the most controversial and divisive bills this legislative session is now heading to the Florida Senate.
The full House vote on what would be Floridaās strictest abortion bill in recent history came after midnight Thursday, along with protests from the gallery that disrupted debateā¦hours of debate that changed no minds.
The bill limits abortions after 15 weeks without exceptions for victims of rape or incest that result in pregnancy.
It does provide exceptions for medical conditions that threaten the life of the mother and for fatal fetal abnormalities where the child would die at birth or soon after.
Such was the case for State Rep. Robin Bartleman, a Democrat from Weston.
She joined This Week in South Florida hosts Michael Putney and Glenna Milberg to discuss, and their conversation can be seen at the top of this page.
