Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Thursday to ban abortions after six weeks of pregnancy after it passed in the Republican-dominated Florida Legislature.
“We have the opportunity to lead the national debate about the importance of protecting life and giving every child the opportunity to be born and find his or her purpose," said Republican Rep. Jenna Persons-Mulicka, who carried the bill in the House.
Florida's six-week ban would take effect only if the state's current 15-week ban is upheld in an ongoing legal challenge that is before the state Supreme Court, which is controlled by conservatives. “Have we learned nothing?" House Democratic Minority Leader Fentrice Driskell said of recent elections in other states."Do we not listen to our constituents and to the people of Florida and what they are asking for?”
