Personhood

Florida's major candidates for governor and attorney general hold sharply divided views on abortion, with Republican Byron Donalds supporting the state's six-week ban and Attorney General James Uthmeier seeking to expand restrictions including pursuing fetal personhood laws. Democrat candidates David Jolly and José Javier Rodríguez oppose the ban and have received endorsements from Florida Planned Parenthood PAC, advocating for expanded abortion access and opposing Uthmeier's policies.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is aggressively pursuing fetal personhood and the elimination of all abortions in Florida, including challenging surrogacy agreements in Broward County as unconstitutional under the Thirteenth Amendment. His efforts include suing Planned Parenthood and intervening in judicial waivers for minors seeking abortions, aiming to bring the issue of fetal personhood before the Florida Supreme Court.
