The Florida House of Representatives passed a bill that would ban abortions after 15 weeks in the state 78-39 Wednesday, according to reports.
The vote came after more than five hours of passionate debate and a brief delay by protesters.
"We have the opportunity today to pass once-in-a-lifetime legislation to save lives. To save babies," state Rep. Jenna Persons-Mulicka, a Republican sponsor of the bill said before the vote, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
