TL;DR Summary

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis falsely claimed that "no pro-lifer has ever argued" to jail women for getting an abortion, while criticizing rival Nikki Haley. However, there have been proposals by some anti-abortion lawmakers to treat women who get abortions as murderers and subject them to prison sentences. While prominent anti-abortion groups oppose the idea, it is supported by hard-line anti-abortion groups and some Republican state lawmakers. DeSantis' claim is inaccurate, as there is evidence of pro-lifers advocating for penalties against women who have abortions.
