Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida v. State of Florida & Planned Parenthood of Southwest & Central…

Summary

The court held that Florida's constitutional Privacy Clause does not protect a right to elective abortion and therefore does not invalidate the statute prohibiting abortions after fifteen weeks, subject to specified exceptions. Applying original-public-meaning analysis and the presumption of constitutionality, the court receded from its prior abortion-privacy precedents. Because the challengers could not show a substantial likelihood of success on the merits, they were not entitled to a temporary injunction.
