NEW: Florida House of Representatives passes six-week abortion ban that would replace the state's 15-week ban. The bill now heads to the governor's desk for his signature.
There are four conditions in which physicians can provide abortions under the ban.
If two physicians are not available, one physician would have to certify in writing that there is a medical necessity for the legitimate emergency medical procedure to save the pregnant woman's life or avert irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function and certify another physician is not available for consultation, the law states.
