According to the Herald-Tribune, A top Republican in the Florida Senate said on Monday that she opposes some elements of the new Texas law that criminalizes abortion after a fetal heartbeat can be detected. The controversial Texas legislation bans abortion at around six weeks of pregnancy, instead of roughly 24 weeks under current Florida law, and the Texas measure relies on citizens to enforce the law, stipulating that individual’s must be awarded at least $10,000 in addition to costs and attorneys' fees for every successful lawsuit against an abortion provider. Republican Senator Kathleen Passidomo told Sarasota’s Argus Foundation she is “pro-life but I am not pro telling on your neighbors.”
