Left-Wing Progressives Sue Florida For Protecting Babies

Saving babies is apparently a ‘brazen attempt to override the will’ of Floridians.

On Wednesday, the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida (ACLU) filed a lawsuit to challenge the state’s 15-week abortion ban, claiming that it “violates privacy and constitutional rights,” according to UPI.

Back in April, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed House Bill 5 into law which prohibits abortions past 15 weeks gestation. This is a big win for the pro-life movement, especially considering that the bill does not exempt pregnancies as a result of “rape, incest or human trafficking,” but rather values all unborn human life. ACLU sued to stop the law from going into effect July 1.

Reports on UPI

A lawsuit was filed Wednesday accusing residents of violating their fundamental privacy rights. Residents are denied the right to control their bodies, and they were also accused of undermining their ability to take care of themselves without the intervention government.

In truth, the residents that are being denied the “autonomy over their own bodies” are the residents of their mother’s womb who’s lives are terminated during the process of an abortion, which is why DeSantis signed this pro-life law in the first place. 

But the ACLU of Florida has claimed that killing babies is a “fundamental constitutional right,” despite the right to murder an innocent child It is not actually being listed in the U.S. Constitution – and, last I checked, Florida is on U.S. soil.

The ACLU also said that restricting abortion rights causes “irreparable harm” to the mother – while ignoring the harm done to the child, who is either chemically killed or has its limbs vacuumed out one by one. (That’s apparently not irreparable harm. Maybe they believe that the baby can be saved after an abortion.

The ACLU legal director, on behalf of the two Planned Parenthood clinics and other abortion providers filing the suit, argues that DeSantis’ bill “ignores the real life circumstances of people who need an abortion and deliberately puts them in harms way.” 

Yeah, no.

Andrew Shirvell, executive director of Christian anti-abortion lobbying group Florida Voice for the Unborn, deemed the lawsuit “meaningless, arguing the Florida Constitution does not directly mention the right to abortion,” according to UPI.

Shirvell released a statement immediately following ACLU’s lawsuit: 

Florida Voice for the Unborn says that the Florida Supreme Court will reopen the case that was filed in today’s lawsuit. It is likely that this case will serve as a tool to reverse the misguided precedents, which incorrectly understood the Florida Constitution as providing women with the legal right to have an abortion.

Shirvell has it right. Florida Constitution It is not This lawsuit is nothing but a proof that Florida leftists are unashamedly pro-life.
