EXPLAINED: Abortion rights activists banned from florida house after midnight protest | Rare Historical Photos

Around midnight Wednesday, as Rep. Erin Grall, R-Vero Beach, closed six hours of emotional debate over the abortion bill she was sponsoring, chants began to ring out from the Florida House gallery.

“My body! My choice!” protesters shouted, causing House Speaker Chris Sprowls to gavel the meeting to a temporary recess.
