Florida court strikes down abortion law
In a 3-0 decision in State of Florida v. Presidential Women's Center, the 4th District Court of Appeal struck down a law requiring doctors to give patients seeking abortions information about abortion risks and alternatives. The "Women's Right to Know Act" was passed in 1997 but never enforced pending litigation. The court found that the law "imposes significant obstacles and burdens upon the pregnant woman which improperly intrude upon the exercise of her choice between abortion and childbirth." State officials are considering an appeal. CNN has more coverage here.
