There is no doubt that women’s health is a hot topic right now. You can’t escape the conversation, whether it's on TV, social media, or just with your friends. But the problem is that there is so much “noise” it may be hard to separate the facts from what is being sensationalized. 

So let’s talk about it. We want to help you understand what Roe vs. Wade actually means and how A Woman’s Place Medical Clinic can help if you find yourself unexpectedly pregnant. 

 

Clearing the Confusion

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) recently released its final decision about whether abortion is a constitutional right. Ultimately, the justices voted to overturn Roe vs. Wade.

So what does this mean for you – abortion is no longer a nationwide right, giving the power back to each individual state to either support or ban abortion procedures. 

In the state of Florida, abortions are currently legal, but there are specific restrictions that govern the procedure:

1. Necessary State Directed Counseling
2. Education on Different Types of Abortions and Costs
3. Required Parental Consent for Minors
4. Required Ultrasounds
5. Florida legislature passed HB 5/SB 146, banning most abortions in the state after 15 weeks. (effective July 1, 2022)

Every state may create different laws surrounding this deeply personal subject. Now is the time for you to equip yourself with medically accurate information that will give you clarity on all of your choices.
