Senate Passes Parental Consent Requirement
In a major victory for abortion opponents, the Florida Senate on Thursday passed a bill that would require parental consent before minors could have abortions.
The 23-17 vote tees up the measure for the House, which is almost certain to pass it. The bill would then go to Gov. Ron DeSantis, who used part of his State of the State address last month to urge lawmakers to send it to his desk.
