Florida Republican gubernatorial primary candidate James Fishback has announced plans to close every abortion clinic in the state if elected governor, proposing to replace them with crisis pregnancy centers.

Fishback made the statement as part of his campaign platform during the GOP primary race for Florida's governorship. The candidate outlined his vision for eliminating abortion access across the Sunshine State through the closure of existing clinics.

Under Fishback's proposal, crisis pregnancy centers would take the place of current abortion facilities. Crisis pregnancy centers are organizations that typically counsel women against having abortions and often provide services such as pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, and parenting classes.

The announcement comes amid ongoing national debates over abortion access and reproductive rights. Florida, like many states, has been a focal point for legislative battles over abortion regulations and funding.

Fishback's position represents one of the more restrictive stances among candidates seeking the Republican nomination for governor. The primary election will determine which candidate advances to face the Democratic nominee in the general election.
