The Florida Supreme Court recently made national headlines when it issued two significant abortion rulings on the same day.
One ruling cleared the way for a law to take effect that protects unborn life at six weeks and beyond. The other allowed a far-reaching abortion proposal, titled the Limiting Government Interference with Abortion Amendment, to be placed on the November ballot.
