FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Floridians will rally this weekend in solidarity with abortion rights advocates across the country to mark the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court ruling that made access to an abortion a federal right in the United States
In Florida, however, the marches will be more of a rallying cry to lawmakers to hold the line on the state’s abortion laws. Most abortion advocates believe Florida’s 15-week ban on abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest could be further restricted in a matter of weeks.
“This is about letting the leadership of Florida know we are not going down without a fight,” said Aurelie Colon Larrauri, Florida state policy advocate for the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice, who will attend a rally in Tallahassee on Sunday.
