Florida Governor DeSantis enacts 6-week abortion ban.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill banning abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, which gives him a political victory among Republican primary voters as he prepares for a potential presidential run. The ban will take effect only if the state's current 15-week ban is upheld in an ongoing legal challenge before the state Supreme Court. The policy would have wider implications for abortion access throughout the South in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision last year overturning Roe v. Wade and leaving decisions about abortion access to states. Democrats and abortion-rights groups have criticized Florida's proposal as extreme.
