Final passage came after a marathon floor hearing in the state House, which passed the proposal largely along party lines in a 70-40 vote after the state Senate passed the bill on April 3.
The new exemptions were sought by Republican state Senate President Kathleen Passidomo and agreed to by other Republicans. The bill also includes $25 million to expand Florida Pregnancy Care Network Inc., a statewide network of nonprofits that offer pregnancy support services.on March 7, shortly before DeSantis gave his State of the State address on the opening day of the 2023 legislative session.
Democrats said the proposal further infringes on a person's right to choose and will have negative impacts on their health care. “Here in Florida we take care of patients within the state of Florida, and many people traveling not only from nearby states but those much farther away," said Shelly Tien, a doctor who works at Planned Parenthood Southeast.
Florida Republicans want to take away women's rights? It's time for Florida women to take their vote, and vote for law makers that actually give a damn.
Wondering, any surprises? They approved rapes of women and girls. Then, they forced them to have the babies even if they died. Then, they support these children to be killed by assault weapons while grifting and profiting.
Wear a rubber? Take the pill? Take a day after pill? Fing ghouls.
Republicans take away our Rights.
That's too bad. 15 Weeks I thought was a reasonable compromise. Now Florida is turning into Desantistan. The new law is opposed even by a majority of Republicans in the state. I expect the state to turn more blue in the next election.
I didn’t really need another reason to stay out of that Fascist state, but here we are. GOPHatesWomen

Can't imagine why any woman would want to live in a state where your fundamental rights are being taken away. A place where the legislature feels as though they know more about medicine that your provider. Pathetic.
The party of freedom, taking then away one at a time…
Sorry ladies. Before you even know you're pregnant, we decided you can't have an abortion. This has been tried and smacked down. It violates the state Constitution.
Unfortunately, this is the result when not enough people with common sense get out and vote. DeSantis (who won by 19 pts) and those legislators believe they have a mandate and they will take full advantage to push through anything they want.
oneunderscore__ American women weep as we become 2nd class citizens again.
JonLemire BOYCOTT FLORIDA. Take your vacation $$ to a less chaotic, less misogynistic, more pro-democracy state. (There is one than one Disney theme park in the USA)
Conservatives always say 'Save the babies' Until after they're Born Then kill them later by Cutting funding for Nutrition and Health care support Proving that they're really HYPOCRITES !
oneunderscore__ 😡😡😡😡😡😡
lookner Teehee
Absolutely horrible
SethDillon Lol
good job Florida
Disgusting
“The measure bans abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, with new exceptions for rape and incest up until 15 weeks. The measure does not change the exceptions for the life and health of the mother up until 15 weeks that are in current law.”
The reason for the 6 week ban, is that it leaves the door open for the $billion IVF business. Where clients can have embryos created, and destroyed on the basis of genetics or sex. Rich people get choices, poor women and couples don’t.
SethDillon Another win for humanity…and another L for the baby killers.
SethDillon All I can say is, thank you Jesus. SCOTUS sent it back to the states and guess what? FL respects the sanctity of life. 🎉
A rat in a maze is free to go anywhere, as long as it stays inside the maze.
A lot of women don't even know they're pregnant at 6 weeks
6 weeks? She won't even know she's pregnant! Lol
oneunderscore__ A 6 week ban is = A TOTAL ABORTION BAN Pass it on!!!! 10 YEARS OLDs and women don't know they are pregnant yet
Apparently they don’t think women vote.
oneunderscore__ 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
I wonder if he is going to wear his evil villain clothes
oneunderscore__ I would love to see every out-of-state pro-choice college student in FL pack up their shit and leave, NOW, before the semester ends.
Do they have free high sensitivity pregnancy tests?

DeSantis: A Christofascist cosplaying as a Republican.
JonLemire Time for women to carry guns and practice Lisistrata 😡
They passed a law a few years back to 16 if the abortion law was overturned. Just ridiculous and such hate
So much for freedom

oneunderscore__ If this doesn’t get Democrats,especially women,to get out and vote in Florida I honestly don’t know what will.
oneunderscore__ Florida, the State of forced births…
Keep going republicans - keep pushing your extremist agenda that will continue to piss off voters and when it’s time to vote and y’all lose again , don’t ask why you lost and start your victim blame game and whining.
oneunderscore__ Get outta FLA!!!!
SethDillon Extreme Baby Killing Democrats are so upset.
SethDillon Yah!!!!! No more murdering children in Florida.
SethDillon Sounds good to me. If you don’t like it, move to a liberal utopia like Detroit or Portland.
SethDillon He should set up a hotline so we can report them and their doctors.
never going to be president
Thousands of women could be entering their 6th week of pregnancy and don't even know it! TF is going on in our country!
SethDillon Thank you for saving me…
When a women gets pregnant with her husband, an angel whispers the baby's gender in her ear so they definitely know they're pregnant but liberals still want six weeks to commit murder against a baby. Disgusting. Conception means conception.
But doctors can still prescribe weight loss pills?
They must make part of that law that every single one of the persons who voted for it, must adopt and raise a newborn baby from a woman who was denied abortion.
SethDillon What happens at six weeks? I mean, like...it's okay, it's okay, it's okay — OOPS! SIX WEEKS! GOTTA STOP, BECAUSE _________________?
Great news!

JonLemire Will not spend a day or a dollar in DeSantistan.

SethDillon Ban all abortions
JonLemire So much for the party of small government
Some women won’t even know they’re pregnant by then, but yeah, that makes total sense. 😡
Well gop now definitely won't win in 2024 because of their own zealots.
JonLemire
Cannot in good conscience ever work there. Declined an offer and *never regretted it. My spouse, who's an attorney, begs to differ. Perhaps his job prospects were better 😏
Goodbye ruby Tuesday 😢... you'll never be more than the Governor of Florida now....
How many women just entered week 6?
Effing Republicans. Vote them ALL out.
