The Florida Supreme Court agreed to take up the lawsuit filed by Planned Parenthood, the American Civil Liberties Union, and other abortion providers in the state but declined to halt the law from being enforced while it considers the case.
A review of the law has high stakes for Gov. Ron DeSantis, considered a top contender for the GOP presidential nomination, who has indicated he will wait for court challenges to play out before pursuing further abortion curbs sought by conservatives in the state.
The state Supreme Court's decision to hear the case comes five months after the 1st District Court of Appeal threw out a temporary injunction placed on the law by Leon County Circuit Court Judge John Cooper, who contended that it violated the state constitution. If the state Supreme Court upholds the 15-week abortion ban, it will pave the way for legislators to further restrict abortion rights in the state.
