TALLAHASSEE -- A key abortion issue looks almost certain to be included on Floridas presidential ballot this fall after the state Senate gave preliminary approval Wednesday to a controversial parental notice measure.
A month after similar legislation sailed out of the House, the Senate agreed that voters in November should decide whether girls under 18 must notify their parents before getting an abortion. ...
Senate Democrats argued the measure should specify that underage girls could seek a judges permission to obtain an abortion without notice in certain cases, and that exceptions also should be made for medical emergencies, child abuse or sexual abuse. ...
Although notice legislation is opposed by abortion rights organizations, no senators sought to directly challenge the idea of putting the measure on the November ballot.
