"Florida's Controversial 6-Week Abortion Ban Inches Closer to Passage"

A Florida Senate committee has advanced a bill that would ban abortions at six weeks and allocate $25 million to anti-abortion centers. An anesthesiologist held up a Tic Tac to demonstrate the size of the clump of cells that the committee would privilege over breathing patients in its "near total abortion ban." The bill requires rape and incest victims to bring in documentation certifying that they've sufficiently reported the crime perpetuated against them. If their reporting is deemed adequate, they may be allowed an abortion up to 15 weeks. The bill is likely to be passed by the state Senate by the end of the week, and Gov. Ron DeSantis has indicated he'll sign a six-week abortion ban.
