The Florida Supreme Court is set to rule on the state abortion ban after hearing oral arguments earlier this month from the solicitor general and counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union.

The plaintiffs sued the state last year alleging that HB 5, also known as the Reducing Fetal and Infant Mortality Act, violates a right to privacy within the Florida Constitution.
