A group gathers outside the Florida Capitol to protest a bill that would ban most abortions after 15 weeks.

Studies show that new restrictions on abortion could increase social disparities including child poverty and women’s educational prospects.

Florida has already restricted abortion procedures to 15 weeks of pregnancy with no exceptions for rape or incest.

Guest: Jessica Blake, contributor, Chalkbeat.
