The Florida Senate passed a six-week abortion ban, the latest Republican-led state to tighten laws allowing abortion.
Republican state Sen. Erin Grall, the sponsor of the bill, called it a compromise because the bill tightens restrictions against abortions to one of the smallest in the country but allows exceptions for rape and incest."The termination of life, period, meets the definition of murder," she said.The bill will likely pass the House because both chambers are controlled by Republicans. DeSantis has said he will sign the bill if it is sent to his desk.
“We’re for pro-life. I urge the legislature to work, produce good stuff, and we will sign,” DeSantis said in February when asked if he would support a six-week abortion ban., most of them in southern states. If the Florida Legislature passes the bill, it will join Georgia as the two states with a six-week ban. Several other states have bans spanning from 15 to 22 weeks, with some bans blocked or being challenged in court.In Florida, abortion is banned at 15 weeks of pregnancy.
