The Heartbeat Protection Act (SB 300) is a Florida state law passed in 2023 that makes abortion after 6 weeks illegal except in the event of rape, incest, human trafficking, a fatal fetal abnormality diagnosis, or when the pregnant woman's life is in danger. It further prevents state funds from being used to finance agencies which provide abortion or to help a pregnant woman travel to another state to receive an abortion, and outlaws the delivery of abortion pills through the mail.
The bill passed the Florida Legislature on April 13, 2023. Governor Ron DeSantis signed it into law on the same day in a meeting behind closed-doors with a few selected guests.[1][2][3]
It will come into force only if the Florida Supreme Court overturns previous rulings which found abortion to be a protected right under the State Constitution.
