‘Forced pregnancy act?’ Florida House Democrats float symbolic amendments to 6-week abortion ban

The House is set to take up a Senate bill banning abortion after six weeks, with exceptions for rape, incest and human trafficking victims.

Though outnumbered in the supermajority Republican House, Democrats are floating key changes that are unlikely to be approved, but which aim to make symbolic statements about the legislation.

One suggested change, from Orlando Democratic Rep. Anna V. Eskamani, would change the bill’s title from the “Heartbeat Protection Act” to the “Forced Pregnancy Act.”
