new florida adoption law destroys privacy of birth mothers

A new Florida law requires women who want to give their unborn up for adoption to publish their sexual histories in the local newspapers of the town in which the child was conceived.

“When women come into my office and find their whole lives have to be exposed in the newspaper, they are like, ‘Forget it.’ They can abort without consent, but they can’t give the child an opportunity to live without humiliating themselves.”

    Is this law for a woman who does not know the father and her current husband has raised the child for 13 years and wants to adopt, does she need to publish her sexual history? Thank you Stacey
