    And it will draw into the election voters that do not usually vote.

    In a separate 4-3 ruling Monday, the Florida Supreme Court allowed a ballot measure to go to voters that would enshrine abortion rights in the state's constitution.

    The proposed amendment says “no law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider.” It provides for one exception that is already in the state constitution: Parents must be notified before their minor children can get an abortion.

    The majority of justices rejected Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody's argument that the proposed amendment is deceptive and that voters won’t realize just how far it will expand access to the procedure

    Affordability many times is an issue when the dude has no job. It falls on the women to do everything.

    I thought you said old dudes controlling young women.

     

    if the dude has no job seems he would have a lot of time to do things.

     

    Florida provides access to family planning and related preventive health services for both males and females, including teens, in all 67 counties through local county health departments or contracted agencies. Here are the key details:

    Birth Control Methods and Supplies: Individuals have access to FDA-approved birth control methods and supplies. These options are available to help with family planning and prevent unexpected pregnancies.

    Abstinence Counseling and Education: Information and education, including abstinence counseling, are available to all who want and need these services. It’s important to make informed decisions regarding birth control.

    Sliding Fee Scale: Services are provided on a sliding fee scale, based on family household income and size. Individuals with incomes up to 100% of poverty do not pay fees for services.

    Additional Services: Other services include pregnancy testing and counseling, physical examinations, screening for hypertension, breast and cervical cancer, and sexually transmitted diseases (including HIV counseling and testing). Counseling and education for health promotion and disease prevention are also available.

     

    due to the ACA, insurances have to cover female BC at no cost.

     

    Hopefully the topic gets on the ballot in Florida, as its a state issue.

    Thats the problem?  kind of seems specific.  projecting again?

     

    pretty sure the number one reason for abortion is Affordability.

     

    A 2013 studyTrusted Source analyzed the reasons people seek abortions in the U.S. and found many factors. Most people gave reasons that fell under one or two of the below themes, but some gave four or more reasons.

    Financial circumstances

    Around 40% of people in the study mentioned a financial reason for needing an abortion. Most of them had general financial concerns or said they could not afford to support a child.

    Around 4% said a lack of employment contributed to their decision, and 0.6% said they terminated their pregnancies because of a lack of insurance or government assistance.

    Timing

    More than one-third (36%) of study participants cited reasons relating to timing. Some felt they were not emotionally or financially ready to have a baby, while others felt they were too old to have a child.

    Partner-related reasons

    Almost one-third (31%) of study respondents gave reasons relating to their partner.

    For example, some individuals said they did not have a good or stable relationship with their partner or that their partner was unsupportive. Around 8% wanted to get married before having children. Others mentioned that they had a partner who was abusive or who did not want the baby.
