On Tuesday, June 30, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law state bill SB 404, which requires teenagers under the age of 18 to obtain permission from their parents or legal guardians before having an abortion.

The new law also strengthens penalties for those who perform abortions but do not provide lifesaving care to infants who survive the procedure, according to Live Action.
