A Florida congressman introduced a bill that would drastically reduce the circumstances in which women can get abortions in the state, Univisión reported on Wednesday.
Concretely, HB 1519 would only allow procedures take place when continuing a pregnancy endangers the mother's life. Introduced by Republican David Borrero, it would also charge doctors who conduct the abortions when they are not a "medical emergency" with crimes that would see them spend up to 10 years in prison. It would also fine them for up to $100,000.
