Miami, FL –  Today, Florida’s dangerous six-week abortion ban comes into effect. The abortion ban, endorsed by Rick Scott, will endanger thousands of women’s lives. In response, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell released the following statement.

“Starting today, thousands of women in Florida will lose access to reproductive health care because of Rick Scott’s extreme attack on our fundamental freedoms,” said Debbie Mucarsel-Powell. “Scott’s dangerous and authoritarian-like agenda to take away women’s rights will have devastating consequences across our state – but Florida voters are ready to hold him accountable. While Scott proudly endorses the dangerous ban and supports a national ban, I will never stop fighting for our rights. Together, we will win.”
