Controversial 6-week abortion ban signed by Florida Governor.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a six-week abortion ban, which was passed by the Florida House and Senate. Unlike the 15-week abortion ban passed last year, this new ban allows for exceptions like rape, incest, and human trafficking, but women must provide proof to doctors. Emotions ran high during the eight-hour voting process, with Democrats opposing the bill and Republicans supporting it. The ban's effective date is unclear as the Florida Supreme Court is still weighing in on the 15-week abortion ban. Governor DeSantis praised the bill, saying it expands pro-life protections and provides resources for young mothers and families.
