Privacy is enshrined in the FL Constitution, one of the few states with such a provision. The constitution of the state would have to be amended and that takes 2/3 vote which the Repugs will not be able to get. They have tried and tried and tired and failed each time. In fact, even if Roe v Wade is overturned, abortion will still be legal here due to that provision.
