The newly filed bills would take the state’s current 15-week ban down to a six-week ban, with exceptions for rape and incest before the 15-week mark.
“That exemption is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt at Republicans to feel better about themselves at night,” said Senate Minority Leader Lauren Book .
In a press conference after the State of the State address, Governor DeSantis said he believed the exemptions in the bill were “sensible”. The Governor went on the point out that if the bill passes it would only take effect if the Florida Supreme Court were to rule in favor of the state’s existing 15-week ban.With the backing of the Governor and legislative leaders, Democrats will have to hope that doesn’t happen or that public blowback kills the bills.
