TALAHASSEE, FL - Today the Florida Supreme Court in a 3-2 opinion reinstated the injunction against a 24-hour waiting period to the Informed Consent abortion law. Justices Canady and Polston dissented. A third justice took no part in the opinion. The Court is composed of seven justices, but one seat is vacant. Liberty Counsel had previously filed an amicus brief in Gainesville Woman Care v. State of Florida, arguing in favor of the waiting period on behalf of the American Association of Pro-life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG) and the American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds).
