Florida Supreme Court to take Planned Parenthood’s case against local surgery center ban
The Florida Supreme Court says it will hear the case of a Planned Parenthood facility in Osceola County that wants to perform abortions, despite being housed in a medical park where outpatient surgical centers are prohibited.
