“Abortion rights could be on the ballot in 2024… Already, anti-abortion advocates like Andrew Shirvell with Florida Voice for the Unborn are characterizing the proposal as radical…‘I believe that the full effect would be abortion-on-demand throughout all 9 months of pregnancy up to and including birth,’ said Shirvell.”
“Andrew Shirvell, executive director of the Tallahassee-based anti-abortion group Florida Voice for the Unborn, issued a press release denouncing the ‘deranged quest to enshrine abortion on demand in our state’s governing document via a citizens’ petition initiative.’”
“Anti-abortion advocates remain optimistic the [Florida] Supreme Court will uphold the 15-week [abortion] ban, allowing the six-week ban to take effect. ‘People’s minds change and the legal landscape changes. The biggest change was Roe v. Wade’s reversal,’ said [Florida Voice for the Unborn’s] Andrew Shirvell.”
“Andrew Shirvell is the founder of Florida Voice for the Unborn, a lobbying group that advocates for a total abortion ban, and he called the Republicans who voted against the [Heartbeat] bill ‘traitors to the unborn.’ ‘Pro-life voters will remember their lack of courage...,’ Shirvell said.”
“[Pro-life groups] have argued receiving an abortion is more likely to lead to negative mental health outcomes. During a recent committee hearing on the proposed six-week ban, Andrew Shirvell, who founded the group Florida Voice for the Unborn, said ‘the real mental crisis is caused by abortion, not pregnancy.’”
“Far from protecting their political futures, the Republicans who voted against the legislation on Thursday endangered their careers, said Andrew Shirvell, founder and executive director of Florida Voice for the Unborn. ‘The seven ‘Republicans’ who voted against the Heartbeat Bill are traitors to the unborn.’”
“The newly-enacted Heartbeat Bill, if and when it goes into effect, does not go far enough in protecting innocent lives because it arbitrarily and capriciously deems many unborn children unworthy of legal protections.” – Florida Voice for the Unborn Executive Director Andrew Shirvell
“[T]he Heartbeat Bill is not what pro-life grassroots advocates wanted to see enacted in this new post-Roe v. Wade era, where nearly a dozen ‘red’ states — like Texas — have already become abortion-free by protecting all unborn children from the moment of conception.” – Florida Voice for the Unborn's Andrew Shirvell
“[Florida Voice for the Unborn Executive Director] Andrew Shirvell was also disappointed…He took note of DeSantis’s public reticence on abortion. ‘If you’re not out there defending the right to life...you really lose something in the long-term debate,’ Shirvell said. ‘So we need a fighter.’”
“‘While many red states have effectively become abortion-free in the aftermath of Dobbs, there is a long way to go,’ said Andrew Shirvell, founder and executive director of Florida Voice for the Unborn, which supports amending the [U.S.] Constitution to ban abortion.”
“At Senate committee hearings about the [Baby Box] legislation, Andrew Shirvell, the founder of Florida Voice for the Unborn, voiced his support, describing the box as a ‘state-of-the-art device.’ He said 120 babies have been surrendered in boxes in the past seven years.”
“Some Florida-based groups are urging GOP lawmakers to make the [Heartbeat] bill more restrictive...The group Florida Voice for the Unborn asked its supporters to call key House Republicans to urge them to scrap the exceptions so that ‘ALL unborn children are protected in post-Roe v. Wade Florida.’”
