Florida Already Starting on Anti-Abortion Legislation

The state passed numerous anti-choice bills last session, and it seems to have passed even more this time.

Did you think that Florida already passed every anti-choice bill under the sun during its last session?  Well, think again.  The legislature is back in session and already prepping new anti-choice bills.

Via The Florida Independent, the first proposed bill would be:

Requiring a physician who offers to perform or who performs abortions to complete continuing education related to ethics; providing that an infant born alive subsequent to an attempted abortion is entitled to the same rights, powers, and privileges as are granted by the laws of this state; providing that it is a first-degree misdemeanor to unlawfully advertise how to obtain an abortion; prohibiting a person from establishing, conducting, managing, or operating a clinic in this state without a valid and current license issued by the Agency for Health Care Administration; revising the amount of the fine that the Agency for Health Care Administration may impose for a violation of ch. 390, F.S., relating to abortion, or part II of ch. 408, F.S., relating to licensure, etc.

I guess Scott Randolph is going to be busy again.
