DeSantis signs controversial six-week abortion ban into law in Florida.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a six-week abortion ban into law, fulfilling a campaign pledge to block abortion after the detection of a heartbeat, just before he is expected to launch his 2024 presidential bid. The late-night private signing also stood in stark contrast to the celebratory event exactly a year prior, when DeSantis enacted a 15-week abortion ban at a Orlando-area megachurch as news cameras captured the scene. The six-week ban is expected to cause problems for DeSantis, as it is out of step with the views of the vast majority of the people of Florida and of all the United States.
