Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates civil remedies, including suits by family members and the father of the unborn child, for violations of Florida's existing abortion statute (s. 390.0111(2), the 15-week ban), applies regardless of consent or out-of-state law, bars recognition of retaliatory out-of-state judgments, and provides for damages and injunctive relief; all provisions substantively restrict abortion access with no countervailing expansions.
