Florida Voice for the Unborn Executive Director Andrew Shirvell: “[I]f it’s truly a life from the moment of conception, then I think we have an obligation as a society…to protect that life from its very beginnings.”
“‘The real crisis, the real mental crisis is caused by abortion, not pregnancy. This amendment is frivolous and ridiculous, please stop the charade and vote this amendment down,’ said Executive Director of Florida Voice for the Unborn Andrew Shirvell. Both amendments proposed by [Senator] Berman were shot down.”
“An overflow crowd and five hours of speakers took place in that [Senate] committee room as people have been very strong in their convictions on this topic. ‘Our state is dripping red with the blood of preborn babies,’ said Andrew Shirvell with Florida Voice for the Unborn.”
“But several speakers, including Andrew Shirvell, representing Florida Voice for the Unborn, said the six-week ban does not go far enough. ‘Please amend this bill and protect all unborn children from the moment of conception, without exception.’”
“About half a dozen supporters of the [Heartbeat] bill said they agreed with [Senator] Grall's sentiment equating abortion to murder; a handful urged lawmakers to take the proposal a step further and enact a total [abortion] ban.”
“But in most states, the GOP proposals to tighten restrictions on ballot initiatives are not explicitly targeting abortion…‘In Florida, it’s a double-edged sword,’ said Andrew Shirvell, the leader of the group Florida Voice for the Unborn that is supporting efforts to put an anti-abortion measure on the 2024 ballot.”
“[Our group] supports all of the provisions of House Bill 7 except for Section 3, which needs to be amended, so that all unborn children are legally protected from the moment of conception, without exception.” – Florida Voice for the Unborn Executive Director Andrew Shirvell
Anti-abortion advocates voiced their support but called for a ban on all abortions in Florida…‘Here and now in post-Roe v. Wade Florida to do anything less than full protection is cowardly and unacceptable,’ said Andrew Shirvell, executive director of Florida Voice for the Unborn.”
“The founder and executive director of Florida Voice for the Unborn, Andrew Shirvell, spoke in support of the [Heartbeat] bill but said changes need to be made so that all unborn children are ‘legally protected from the moment of conception, without exception.’”
“Andrew Shirvell, with the organization Florida Voice for the Unborn, also voiced his support of the [Heartbeat] legislation. However, he does not think it goes far enough. He wants to see an entire ban on abortions in Florida.”
“A handful of speakers spoke in favor of the [Heartbeat] bill, including Andrew Shirvell with the pro-life organization Florida Voice for the Unborn. Shirvell urged lawmakers to…[ban] the procedure from the point of conception.”
“Andrew Shirvell, the founder of Florida Voice for the Unborn, told the committee that the six-week cutoff was still too lenient. ‘To do anything less than full protection is cowardly and unacceptable in this new Dobbs era,’ Shirvell said.”
“For now, [Florida Voice for the Unborn’s] strategy is to ‘participate in the legislative process’ via email, phone and in-person at the hearings. These plans could change based on what happens with the 6-week abortion ban.”
“What we’re going to do now for the next 60 days, is we’re going to strengthen that [Heartbeat] bill...We are hoping and praying that hearts will be changed so that the bill will read: ‘No abortions from the moment of conception, without exception. ’” – Florida Voice for the Unborn Executive Director Andrew Shirvell
“Florida Voice for the Unborn would like to see the six-week abortion ban amended by the end of the legislative session in May, so that all unborn children in Florida are protected from the moment of conception — just like they are in Texas and in nearly a dozen other red states.” – Executive Director Andrew Shirvell
“Republican lawmakers filed twin bills on Tuesday…prohibiting [abortions] after 6 weeks of pregnancy…Kristan Hawkins, President of Students for Life Action, and Andrew Shirvell, founder and executive director of Florida Voice for the Unborn, both felt that the legislation did not go far enough.”
“During an exclusive Feb. 20, 2023, meeting that Florida Voice for the Unborn Executive Director Andrew Shirvell and our grassroots supporters had with House Speaker Paul Renner, the Speaker stated that a bill further prohibiting abortion was unlikely to be filed by a House member in the traditional manner...”
“Andrew Shirvell, founder and executive director of the anti-abortion activist group Florida Voice for the Unborn, expects that the abortion legislation could come later in the session. This comes from a February meeting with House Speaker Paul Renner and other staff...”
