The Florida state House approved a bill on Thursday requiring minors to get parental consent before seeking an abortion. It passed in the Senate in early February.
The bill, which was passed 75-43 largely along party lines and will go into effect on July 1 once signed by Governor Ron DeSantis, requires a minor who’s seeking an abortion to get notarized written consent from a parent or legal guardian and present it to the physician performing the operation.
