Pro life Florida allows hospitals to murder unmarried women called the Free Kill Law (literal name)

Pro life Florida is the only known state to have this law but apparently if you go to a hospital you can't pursue non economic damages in cases of medical negligence if you're unmarried and don't have children.

They ask their families questions like are they married, do they have kids. Which makes no sense but it does in the context of the state wanting information on if you're unmarried so you can't get hospitals for medical neglect.

Here's the full story:

Taylor Jenkins was 25 years old. She was healthy. Successful. In love. About to get engaged.

After being rear ended at a red light in Florida, Taylor was taken to the hospital, where her mother says confirmed medical negligence and neglect cost her life.

But what happened next is what stopped me in my tracks.

Because Taylor was 25, unmarried, and did not have children, her family was blocked from seeking accountability under a Florida law known as “Free Kill.”

Florida is the only state in the country with a law like this.

If you are over 25, unmarried, and without children, your parents cannot pursue non economic damages in cases of medical negligence.

Think about that for a second.

A daughter’s life. Reduced to whether she had a spouse or children.

In 2025, 93% of the Florida legislature voted to repeal this law. The repeal was vetoed.

Taylor’s mother, Cindy, told me:

“They killed half my heart that day, and I will never stop fighting for Taylor so nobody else ever has to go through this.”

This is bigger than one family.

This is about what happens when accountability disappears from healthcare systems.

And who powerful lobbying protects when it does.

This is like what you and I discussed, the law exists to protect the medical institution from being destroyed by lawsuits. It actually somewhat frees up medical staff to do their jobs without having to play to a system. Only somewhat though because the law still allows them to be sued and they can still get criminal charges, it just means you can't keep piling up payouts under different names like emotional loss. Meaning there still is accountability. The only people standing in the way are the lawyers who won't take these cases because they can't milk them for a payday, and at the end of the day even they aren't stopping anyone from personally pursuing the case on their own.

@Jackaloftheazuresand I think you're right but at the same time it's still a wrong law because not having children shouldn't be a death sentence. And when you have laws like that, it's teaching medical people that they can get away with murder. I don't see no repercussions for anyone in this case.

Angels of death with nurses is fairly common for this reason. It's very easy to kill hundreds of patients under certain things. That's why those things don't come out until 10 years later.

If 93% of the legislature voted to repeal it, then why weren’t they able to override the governor’s veto?

@Theyitis I'm not sure, I had that question too, pretty wild

@KunsanVeteran Apparently 93% of the Florida legislature voted to repel the law but the 1% or whoever wanted the law on the books still so they kept it. Crazy
@KunsanVeteran And yet Governor Death Sentence’s choice for Florida Surgeon General is committing malpractice every single day!
@SatanBurger What Florida should have done would have been something like the Feres Doctrine & the FTCA—see link below.
