As of May 1st, abortion in Florida is banned after 6 weeks. The law provides exceptions for fatal fetal diagnosis, to save the life of the patient, or for victims of reported rape, incest, or human trafficking, with added documentation in some instances.
Some people in banned states are still accessing abortion care through travel, supported, or self-managed abortion. View our Abortion Access page to see all options being used.
The only way we will overturn Florida's abortion ban and protect our right to abortion is if we vote YES on 4 in November.
Keep yourself safe from fake abortion centers
Anti-choice extremists have attacked abortion access in the U.S. since the procedure became formally legalized nationwide in 1973. One tactic of theirs that most people have never heard of is FAKE "CLINICS." Yep, it’s a thing. In fact, there are close to 3,000 fake clinics across the country, according to Expose Fake Clinics.
Expose Fake Clinics
#ExposeFakeClinics is a national initiative created to tell the truth about manipulative, fake reproductive health centers. Driven by the Abortion Access Hackathon and Abortion Access Front, along with more than 60 partner organizations across the country, #EFC offers resources and a community from which anyone can spread the word about these deceptive centers.
Planned Parenthood: Crisis Pregnancy Centers
Crisis pregnancy centers (also called CPCs or "fake clinics") are clinics or mobile vans that look like real health centers, but they're run by anti-abortion activists who have a shady, harmful agenda: to scare, shame, or pressure you out of getting an abortion, and to tell lies about abortion, birth control, and sexual health.
WMNF Radio: Anti-Abortion Pregnancy Centers Tampa Bay
At least 21 anti-abortion clinics, with names like “Foundations of Life” and “A Woman’s Place,” operate in the Tampa Bay, region marketing themselves as pregnancy care centers or “pregnancy resource centers.” Many of these clinics, partially funded by Florida taxpayers, are run by faith-based organizations, with the explicit mission of dissuading people from seeking abortion.
