Florida Senator Erin Grall has reintroduced Senate Bill 164, a proposal that would allow parents to sue for the wrongful death of an unborn child at any stage of pregnancy. The bill aims to amend Florida’s Wrongful Death Act to recognise parents as "survivors" entitled to seek damages for emotional pain and suffering caused by foetal death. It defines an unborn child as a member of the human species “at any stage of development” carried in the womb. However, SB 164 prohibits lawsuits against mothers or medical providers if the care was lawful and done with consent, including abortions and IVF procedures. The legislation would mark a major shift in Florida’s wrongful death laws and is slated to take effect in July 2026 if passed. Notably, Grall filed a similar measure in 2024, which failed to advance. Florida Man Weighing Over 600 Pounds Rescued by Crane After Medical Emergency in West Palm Beach, Video Goes Viral.
