Florida #1 Anti Women Destination

women change their vacation plans
Tourism is one of the biggest industries in so many of the states pushing attacks on reproductive health. Florida, Texas, South Carolina, Arizona, Michigan—all of them depend on tourism dollars, and all of them are on the front lines of the war on women.

Why would the state of Florida try to obstruct the cleanup of public waters hundreds of miles away from our own?
Because Bondi and Gov. Rick Scott are complete tools.
