DeSantis Hints At Support For 6-Week Abortion Ban In Florida

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis remains vague about his stance on further restricting abortion in the state, but he recently hinted he would support a six-week abortion ban. via Associated Press Over a dozen states have implemented severe restrictions or near-total bans on abortion since Roe v. Wade fell — and many anti-choice groups in Florida want to see similarly extreme legislation enacted in their home state. “The 15-week abortion ban does not go far enough,” Andrew Shirvell, founder of Florida Voice for the Unborn, told HuffPost earlier this month. “We’d like a complete abortion ban in the state of Florida — similar to what Texas and Oklahoma, and several other red states have enacted … We would like Florida to follow her sister red states in completely prohibiting abortion.” With a Republican supermajority in both chambers and a vocal anti-choice leader in DeSantis, it would be extremely easy to enact harsher abortion restrictions in Florida.
