Florida Senate Passes Controversial 6-Week Abortion Ban Despite Protests and Religious Concerns.

The Florida Senate has approved a proposed ban on abortion after six weeks of pregnancy, with two Republicans opposing the bill amid outbursts from protesters. The bill would ban most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, with exceptions for women facing life-threatening harm during pregnancy, and exemptions of up to 15 weeks for victims of rape, incest and human trafficking. The measure, which is sponsored by state Sen. Erin Grall, was approved 26-13 and still must pass the state House before heading to Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.
