Florida Republican gubernatorial primary candidate James Fishback has announced his intention to shut down every abortion clinic in the state if he is elected governor. Fishback, who has called abortion a ‘holocaust,’ stated that he would replace the clinics with crisis pregnancy centers offering free ultrasounds, baby food, diapers, counseling, and prenatal and postpartum care.

Pro-Life Advocacy

Fishback’s stance on abortion is clear: ‘100% of abortions are murder. And as Governor, I’ll treat them as such.’ He also expressed his commitment to prosecuting abortion as murder, saying ‘It’s murder. And I’ll prosecute it as such. No more games. Abolish abortion.’

The Guttmacher Institute reports that there were 49 clinics providing abortions in Florida as of December 2025, down from 53 in March 2024. Fishback’s plan to shut down these clinics and replace them with crisis pregnancy centers aligns with his pro-life advocacy.
