The Political Game of Abortion Bans in Florida: A State of Play.
TL;DR Summary
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a six-week abortion ban into law on Thursday, but barely mentioned it during a speech at Liberty University on Friday. DeSantis attacked woke ideology, highlighted his ongoing fight with Disney, mentioned his wife’s battle with cancer, and touted his electability, but only gave a passing reference to abortion. The signing of the bill marked a stark difference from 2022 when he approved Florida’s 15-week ban on abortion during a public event at a church. Many Americans don’t support strict abortion bans, including 62% who oppose outlawing abortion when a fetal heartbeat is detected.
