LWVFL Lunch & Learn


The League has supported freedom of choice since 1982 and denounces reproductive coercion in any form. The League believes the Supreme Court opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization is an affront to our values that support access to health care, reproductive rights, and individual liberties and privacy. The opinion, an unprecedented blow to women, puts the reproductive health of millions in danger. This opinion is also a direct attack on Black women and all underserved communities who already experience unfair barriers and limited access to adequate health care services.

 

Abortion is currently banned after 15 weeks in Florida due to a new law that has gone into effect. Florida requires a pregnant person to visit their abortion provider for in-person counseling and then wait 24 hours before returning to get an abortion. 

Join us on October 21 at 1:00 p.m. (ET) as we learn more from three esteemed medical experts, Dr. Adriana Cantville, Kelly Flynn and Dr. Nancy Staats, on the facts on abortion in Florida.
