Five anti-abortion bills are being discussed on the House Floor.

The bills would force women to get an ultrasound before they could have an abortion, keep tax dollars from paying for the procedures and shut down clinics not owned by a physicians. The GOP leadership promised to focus on creating jobs. Representative Scott Randolph says these bills would kill jobs.

“These are the type of bills that when companies are thinking about relocating they look at all sort of these type of bills and they say I’m not going to relocate to some type of place that doesn’t respect GBLT rights or doesn’t respect women’s rights or I have to do something special to health care to provide health care to my employees,” said Randolph.

The ultrasound bill was passed by lawmakers last year, but vetoed by former Governor Charlie Crist. If it’s passed this year Governor Rick Scott is willing to sign it.
