NEW: A six-week abortion ban that replaces Florida's 15-week ban has been signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis, after the state House of Representatives passed the bill earlier in the day.

There are four conditions in which physicians can provide abortions under the ban.

If two physicians are not available, one physician would have to certify in writing that there is a medical necessity for the legitimate emergency medical procedure to save the pregnant woman's life or avert irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function and certify another physician is not available for consultation, the law states.

Physicians will be required to report incidents of rape or incest in minors to the central abuse hotline, according to the law.Anyone who performs or actively participates in an abortion outside these rules commits a felony of the third degree. If the abortion results in the death of the woman, the crime becomes a second-degree felony.

The ban would go into effect if the Florida Supreme Court upholds the 15-week ban, which is being challenged by the Center for Reproductive Rights and other groups.

Just like banning guns won’t stop shootings neither will banning abortions, stop abortions.. we’re back to back alley abortions, thanks to Ronnie boy! 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻BansOffOurBodies handmaidsofflorida

All lives matter

Call it what it is- FORCED BIRTH. Women no longer have bodily autonomy, healthcare options, privacy rights, or reproductive freedom in the state of Florida.

It’s getting harder and harder to terminate a zygote (human baby) in the state of Florida, are we really going to leave unwanted pregnancy left up to personal responsibility? What type of world would that bring?

GovRonDeSantis just signed his presidential wanna be death warrant.

Ron is another con!

Most women don’t even know they’re pregnant at 6 weeks.

Not shocking. It's bumblef*** Florida, also known as Alabama with beaches. Let them be ruled by their authoritarian Bible belt sycophants👍🏻

6 week

This is so different to the Florida I left 20 years ago. Now it's just sad and disgusting.

Terrible news for personal freedom and liberty. the State has no right to dictate what a person does with their own body.

This is prestigious law

Thy will shove my religious beliefs down your throats. Republicans are the worst

The GOP definition of “religious freedom” means the freedom to impose their religious beliefs on the rest of Americans.

Florida Immigrant Coalition joins Equality Florida, NAACP in asking for Florida travel boycottFlorida is proposing some of its toughest immigration laws in years, backed by Gov. Ron DeSantis. One bill proposes prosecuting legal resident who hide or transport those in the country illegally. As a result of that, another group has come out with a travel advisory for people coming to state. The Florida Immigrant Coalition wants people to know they might face problems if the law is passed. They join two other groups Equality Florida and The NAACP which has come out with similar warnings...to not come to Florida. Oh, no! Less libs moving here? That sucks. Florida is looking to pass a law that if you’re legal and you hide/aid/abet, and transfer illegals, you will be charged. I guess that will hurt the sex trafficking business. Does that mean less people will come to Florida? Yay if it does!!!
