Abolition of abortion in florida act

The "Abolition of Abortion in Florida Act" ("AAFA") is a model bill, fashioned by an abolitionist layperson (paralegal). It is a long bill (40+ pages), because it establishes new legal definitions of "person," "preborn child," "abortifacient," etc.; painstakingly edits all existing abortion-related statutes (dealing with everything from professional licensure to foster care and guardianship), striking all abortion-related reference to permits, payments and exceptions; it strikes the abortion chapter of Florida Statutes (ch 390) in its entirety; and adds in a new criminal code confirming that abortion is first-degree capital murder.

 

The Abolition of Abortion in Florida Act may not meet every single formatting "rule" for filing bills -- but that's okay -- your legislator should already know what the rules are for filing bills, and our tax dollars pay for a whole staff of bill-writing-formatting-rule experts to help them out. You can download and print a copy of the AAFA to show your House Representative or State Senator. It will give him or her an idea of what the AAFA hopes to accomplish.

 

The KEY factors of any true abolitionist bill are as follows:

 

1) Abolishes ALL abortion from conception, without exception. Period. No heartbeat qualifiers, no pain-capability tests, no exceptions for rape, incest, health or life of the mother. No exceptions for trafficking, not for domestic violence, not for mental illness, not for severe medical conditions of the preborn child, not for anything. We are not allowed to kill born humans, and we should not be allowed to kill preborn ones. A human life hangs in the balance.

 

2) Criminalizes ALL abortion as murder. Not a lesser felony than any other murder, but the same justice for preborn victims as for born victims.

 

3) Outlaws the purchase or sale of abortifacients (all hormonal birth control, IUDs, emergency contraceptives such as Plan B, etc.) as the highest-level felony possible, with prison sentences and/or severe fines (for example, one billion dollars per infraction). Because in the case of the tiniest and newest human being, it is unlikely that we can gather evidence sufficient to prove that an intentional murder has been committed, we must prosecute the use of abortifacients themselves. But we must do so vigorously in order to be effective.

 

4) Prosecutes ALL parties according to their level of involvement - principal, accomplice, accessory, etc. Imagine a woman hiring a hit man to kill her husband. She would be charged with murder, and the hitman would be charged with murder. The person who drove her to pay the hitman might be charged as an accomplice, and the person who helped her bury the body might be an accessory after the fact. Abortion murder would be treated like all other murders, with mitigating or aggravating factors taken into consideration by the prosecuting attorney, judge and jury.

 

5) Declares as null, void and of no effect any laws, rulings, court opinions, policies, or treaties that allow for the murder of human beings, or prevents the state of Florida from protecting every human life. This is critical. Florida cannot abolish abortion if we bow down to the US Supreme Court or the federal government. We have a God-given right to life and a God-given duty to protect life. When rulers attempt to subvert that right and/or that duty, we must obey God rather than man. Declares that Florida will not back down, and will not even bother to make a court appearance in any tribunal that would attempt to sue the state. The AAFA warns that any federal officials who step foot inside Florida to try to interfere with the AAFA are subject to arrest.

 

6) Provides severe penalties, including fines and removal from office, for any state officials who refuse or fail to enforce the AAFA.
