Florida Democrats vow to fight proposed 6-week abortion ban.

Florida's Republican-controlled legislature is advancing a bill that would restrict the state's current ban on abortion from 15 weeks of pregnancy to six weeks, before many women even realize they're pregnant. The bill would have far-reaching implications across the south, and critics say the narrow window would amount to a "near-total" ban on abortions in the state. Florida became a haven for women seeking reproductive care from states where access was prohibited or severely restricted, including Louisiana and Alabama. Lauren Book, the top Democrat in the Florida senate, vows to keep fighting the bill, but Republican dominance in the state legislature means the bill's fate is "all but sealed".
