TALLAHASSEE, Florida (LifeSiteNews) — Florida appears poised to expand its existing pro-life legislation allowing women to safely and legally surrender their newborns if they cannot care for them. The move to expand the state’s legislation comes as Florida’s law banning abortion for unborn babies with a detectable heartbeat took effect earlier this month.
Lawmakers in the Sunshine State approved the bill dealing with Florida’s “safe haven” law during the 2024 legislative session. The bill, which cleared both the House and the Senate unanimously, would widen the legal window in which a mother can lawfully surrender her newborn from seven to 30 days, according to Politico. It would also allow emergency responders to coordinate with a mother to arrange a convenient drop-off location for the child in case the mother lacks adequate transportation.
