Controversial Abortion Bills Advance in Florida and Tennessee

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and GOP lawmakers are pushing for a far-reaching ban on most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, with the state Senate already approving the legislation and the House preparing to act next. The bill has exceptions up to 15 weeks for victims of rape, incest, and human trafficking. DeSantis has been moving in this direction for years, even before the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade. The governor's support for the proposal may seem politically risky, but it could earn him support from abortion opponents in key presidential primaries.
