S0288Exceptions to the Limitation on Termination of Pregnancies
Direction
AbortionexceptionsAI label
↑Expands abortion accessmodel confidence 90%
Broadens the life-and-health exception by requiring only one physician's determination instead of two, removing 'irreversible' and 'other than a psychological condition' qualifiers, and changing 'imminently' to 'shortly' for fatal fetal abnormalities, so more abortions are permitted under the 6-week
A physician determines that, in reasonable medical judgment, the termination of the pregnancy is necessary to save or prolong the pregnant woman’s life or avert a serious risk of substantial physical impairment or morbidity of a major bodily function of the pregnant woman, including substantial physical impairment to her fertility.

Abortionbans gestational limitsAI label
↓Restricts abortion accessmodel confidence 70%
Retains the 6-week gestational limit but expands the exceptions to it (life/health, fatal fetal abnormality before third trimester, rape/incest/trafficking up to 15 weeks), so the overall ban is less restrictive in practice.
A physician may not knowingly perform or induce a termination of pregnancy if the physician determines the gestational age of the fetus is more than 6 weeks unless one of the following conditions is met:
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Florida's 6-week abortion ban by expanding medical exceptions (one physician instead of two; broader health and fatal-fetal-abnormality criteria) and retaining but not tightening the gestational limit or rape/incest exception, resulting in net greater legal access under the existing ban.
