Abortion exceptionsAI label

Restricts abortion access model confidence 90%

Revises and narrows the exceptions to the 6-week ban (e.g., limits rape/incest exception to 15 weeks with documentation requirements, requires two physicians for fatal abnormality before third trimester), so narrower access to abortion.

(c) The pregnancy has not progressed to the third trimester and Two physicians certify in writing that, in reasonable medical judgment, the fetus has a fatal fetal abnormality.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Florida's abortion statute to impose a 6-week gestational limit (replacing the prior viability standard) while revising and adding requirements to the exceptions for life/health risks, fatal fetal abnormalities, and rape/incest/human trafficking. All changes reduce the circumstances and timing under which abortion is legally available.
