2024 FL Senate race: on Abortion


Marco Rubio: Leave it to state's voters; Democrats want no restrictions

Now it's not states, it's voters at individual states who will get to decide how and to what level they want to restrict abortion, if at all. Some states will have restrictions, some states will not. And so I hope that our platform will reflect our nominee. I also think it's important to remember the Democrats, their last platform, basically endorsed abortion paid for by taxpayers at any time without any restrictions.

Debbie Mucarsel-Powell: Guarantee abortion rights in the Florida constitution

Abortion: Ban or legal?

Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (D): Legal. Supports the ballot measure to guarantee abortion rights in the Florida constitution. Supports federal protection of abortion rights. Bans like Florida's "are putting women's lives at risk" and strip women of "fundamental freedoms."

Rick Scott (R):Ban. Supported Florida's 6-week ban. Celebrated the Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade. Now says leave decision to states.
