DeSantis says Florida will 'expand pro-life protections' after Supreme Court ruling

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis speaks during a news conference in Miami, on Feb. 1, 2022. | Rebecca Blackwell/AP PhotoTALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis promised to expand “pro-life protections” on Friday in the wake of the Supreme Court’s ruling striking down the landmarkdecision, a historic ruling from the high court that drew praise from Florida’s Republicans and condemnation from Democrats.

Abortion rights supporters, meanwhile, used the Supreme Court’s ruling to highlight their continued fight against strict abortion laws and an upcoming state court hearing on Monday that aims to block Florida’s recently approved ban on abortions after 15 weeks. The law doesn’t grant exceptions for victims of rape, incest or human trafficking.

Florida’s 15-week ban on abortions, which was modeled after the Mississippi law upheld Friday by the Supreme Court, is currently being challenged in state court. Lawyers from Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida sued state officials to stop the ban from taking effect on July 1, arguing that it violates a broadly written privacy right in the state Constitution.

The ruling also invigorated the anti-abortion group Florida Voice for the Unborn to call lawmakers to hold a special session this year to enact a complete statewide ban on abortion. Group founder and director Andrew Shirvell called on DeSantis to bypass the ongoing legal challenge in state circuit court and hold a legislative session to completely ban abortion instead.

“Today’s decision ratifies the radical and dangerous legislation jammed through the state government by Republicans and clears the path for a full ban of all abortions in our state, without exceptions for rape or incest,” Driskell said.

I’m realizing DeSasterous isn’t smart enough to tackle the real issues so he circles the drain clutching to guns and abortion as his platform. Heartbreaking for the people of Florida.

There's an upcoming election.....by-by DeSantis!

What should we do? Eliminate the filibuster, Codify Roe, Increase the members of The Supreme Court! Eliminate the life time of the members of the Supreme Court! Let's do it now! Vote! Vote!

Pro-life has always been there. What they took away is pro-choice. Every woman that now has to bear a child she does not want, or cannot care for, mentally or physically or emotionally should file suit against the father for assault. Men must suffer the consequences too.

Forced vasectomies for all males before puberty?

Oh, oh… no sex in Florida. No more spring break. If you even think about sex you can and will be arrested. Unless you get a permit from the governor’s office in which case the duration and positions used will be video monitored by DeSantis himself.

HEY REPUBLICANS!! The Supreme Court just screwed all of you! See all those people in the streets? Them and MORE will be at the polls come November!! 😂😂😂😂😂. Blue wave like never before!!!🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

That’s a good look.

'I want to do something like they have in Texas -- six weeks and legal bounties on people. But, we'll come up with something even more drastic. Maybe 4 weeks. Or three. I want to show Republican voters that, when compared to Greg Abbott, I'm the bigger asshole.'

A right pair.

Since the council of Nicaea the Christian fascist organizations have always demeaned women and avoided the topic of abortion. America, welcome to the Taliban/ISIS/Muslim Brotherhood Rule which many Muslim countries fought and won against.

There is 'Pro-life' people who wants to legalize assassination of women that want to use fundamental right of abortion...

you misspelled 'forced birth'

Keep this man out of office, for the sake of our freedoms, or what’s left of it.

Ron, if you want to be President, it’s always a good idea to really piss off 70% of the voters.
