Following Judge John Cooper’s decision to temporarily block the 15-week abortion ban set to go into effect in Florida, Representative Yvonne Hinson (D-Gainesville) issued the following statement:
“This is a win for privacy, this is a win for women, and this is a win for bodily autonomy. As our constitution states, every natural person has the right to be let alone and free from governmental intrusion into their own private lives. Though, despite this decision, Republicans will not let up and will continue to attack our fundamental rights. We will be preparing for a fight in these upcoming months and years.”
