The Florida Supreme Court will hear a challenge to Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s 15-week abortion ban, passed by the Republican-dominated legislature last year, Politico reports. Opponents to the law say it violates the “Right to Privacy” outlined in the state’s constitution.
DeSantis’s body control law does not have any exceptions available in the cases of rape and incest. Section 23 of the Florida Constitution, adopted in 1980, explicitly declares, “Every natural person has the right to be let alone and free from governmental intrusion into the person’s private life except as otherwise provided herein.” [Curiously, Florida Document does not explain what an unnatural person would be.]
