Well over a hundred anti-abortion protesters gathered on the 4th floor of the rotunda in the Florida Capitol building on Tuesday, shouting out “make Florida totally abortion free,” as the Florida Legislature convened Tuesday for an organizational session ahead of the 2023 regular session.

While lawmakers could hear the chanting, the two new GOP leaders, Senate President Kathleen Passidomo and House Speaker Paul Renner, did not specifically address abortion in their speeches.

Protesters of all ages, including some minors, chanted dozens of slogans in the vein of fully banning abortion in Florida. Currently, Florida has a 15-week abortion. The protest was organized by Florida’s Voice for the Unborn.

“Pro-life Republicans: step up,” one chant went.

“No more exceptions,” went another.

“Hee! Hee! Ho! Ho! Abortion’s got to go,” they also chanted. The variations went on as the organizational session ended in both the House and Senate.

Lawmakers leaving from the two chambers, some with family members, largely ignored the protest occurring in the rotunda.

More to come…
