Incoming Florida Senate President Kathleen Passidomo (R-Naples) on Friday said she would support restricting abortions after 12 weeks of pregnancy as long as there are exceptions for victims of rape and incest. Florida currently bans the procedure at 15 weeks but allows no exceptions except to save a mother’s life, prevent serious injury or if the fetus has an irregularity that is fatal.
“I want the exclusions for rape and incest, and other than that I don’t have a dog in the fight,” Passidomo said during a phone interview. “If we do something, I would like to get that in.”
Passidomo added that she is not directly involved with lawmakers who are discussing a tougher ban. She was part of a failed bipartisan effort during the last legislative session to persuade House and Senate Republican leaders to include rape and incest exemptions in its 15 week ban. [emphasis added]
So much for that idea, Kathleen.
