State Rep. Robin Bartleman, D-Weston, debating on the floor of the Florida House of Representatives on March 26, 2021. Bartleman said on Jan. 24, 2022, that she had to contemplate whether to have an abortion in 2001 when she was pregnant, and an ultrasound revealed fetal abnormalities. (“The pregnancy terminated on its own” as she was agonizing over when to do.) “I am a woman who never thought in a million years that I would have to make a decision about having an abortion,” Bartleman said. “That decision was between me, my husband, my doctor and my God. No one else belonged in that room. No one else.” Florida House of Representatives photo/courtesy. (Courtesy / Courtesy)
