On Tuesday afternoon, an employee at a clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, expressed concern over the implementation of new restrictions on abortion laws. The state’s new law reduces the previous 15-week ban to a six-week ban, which will have significant implications for abortion access in the region. Patients at the clinic are worried about the shortened timeframe and the additional stress it brings. The clinic, which has been seeing a surge in patients leading up to the ban, is making efforts to accommodate as many patients as possible. The new law highlights the ongoing battle over abortion rights in Florida and the broader region.
