At a July 14 Tampa City Council meeting, councilwoman Lynn Hurtak called for local measures that could help protect women's right to choose what to do with their reproductive systems, without interference from the local government. Hurtak tasked the city's legal team with looking into the implementation of the "Guarding the Right to Abortion Care for Everyone" or GRACE act. Some cities, including Austin and San Antonio, are bringing the act forward to essentially keep their cities from surveilling or reporting on any issue regarding women's reproductive healthcare.
