A Florida abortion clinic will pay $20,000 as part of a settlement with the state in a case alleging the clinic did not properly comply with a law that requires providing information to women at least 24 hours before abortions.
A Woman’s Care, Inc., reached the settlement with the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, according to documents filed Thursday at the state Division of Administrative Hearings.
The agency, which has pursued a series of similar cases against abortion clinics, initially sought to impose a $40,000 fine against A Woman’s Care.

After years of legal battling about its constitutionality, the 24-hour waiting period law took effect in April 2022.
The agency alleged that during a May 2022 inspection, it found that A Woman’s Care had not properly documented that women received the required information at least 24 hours before abortions.
The settlement said the clinic denies the allegations.
