Florida GOP lawmakers have filed a bill that would ban abortions after 6 weeks —and they have the support of Sunshine State Gov. Ron DeSantis.
According to a Politico report, “the proposal allows for exceptions to save a patient’s life or if the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest. The legislation, if approved, further restricts abortion in Florida, which last year outlawed abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy without exceptions for rape or incest.”
Florida’s current abortion ban is set after 15 weeks.
Governor Ron DeSantis is showing his support for the ban, saying during his state of the state remarks “we are proud to be pro-family and we are proud to be pro-life.”
