Florida Governor Signs Controversial Six-Week Abortion Ban.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill to ban most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, with exceptions for rape, incest, and human trafficking. The bill has not yet taken effect and depends on the outcome of a Florida Supreme Court ruling expected later this year on the state's 15-week abortion ban. Pro-life groups applauded the move, while opponents criticized the bill's quick turn-around and impact on women in the broader South. The legislation also prohibits state funds from being used to pay for someone's travel out of state for an abortion in most cases and requires medication abortion to be dispensed in-person by a physician.
