Breaking news: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a Republican bill late Thursday banning abortion after six weeks of pregnancy, cutting off a critical access point for abortion care. The legislature passed the bill earlier in the day.

Those numbers have been an impetus for stricter restrictions, Florida Republicans say.

Abortion rights advocates described the ban as a political maneuver by DeSantis, who is widely expected to run for president and will need to win over the Republican base in a primary.“These political moves have devastating consequences,” said Laura Goodhue, executive director of Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates. “Gov. DeSantis’s audition for the presidency doesn’t define us as Floridians.

Florida Democrats have argued fiercely against the legislation, staging several protests in the lead-up to the bill — including one that ended in several top Democrats being arrested. Rep. Jenna Persons-Mulicka , who sponsored the six-week ban, said the medical exception already included in the bill covered that kind of situation.

Despite their baby’s fatal fetal abnormality, the Dorbert family was denied the possibility of terminating their pregnancy early.

Seems like Florida is going back in time and women are being downgraded to second class citizens !!!

Who are these women traitors!? 75% of the public WANTS ABORTION CARE! AbortionRightsAreHumanRights

Can we also pass a law that women have to keep their natural hair color and bodies..no boob jobs, tummy tucks, Botox etc…the two fake women in this picture would be in violation.

gtconway3d More patriarchal misogyny by this completely morally bankrupt GOP politician

Florida men better leave their cousins alone, now... 😱

Republicans will pay the price. They never learn. They will be a dying party soon unless they change.

Disgraceful. It doesn't matter how many women's lives you destroy, Ronnie. You're not going to be president.

And everyone in the picture is smiling and clapping.

Still better than Washington States bill allowing the government to take your kid away because you won’t allow them to get a sex change.

gtconway3d This is a truly tragic day for women in FL. But hopefully marks the beginning of an uprising-revolt that will not bode well for R politicians at the ballot box. Roe v Wade must be restored as federal law. Long fight ahead at state and federal levels, but women are warriors.

That's good news! Hopefully we'll see the GOP as a really small minority in all state legislatures, Congress, and Senate! Keep banning more stuff!😗

This will kill women who have diseases like ectopic pregnancies which are never viable and frequently don't even know they are pregnant until they hemmorage in the 3-4 mo. Men so ignorant of womens health they are now killing us. Why r these perverted power mongers in charge?

Would love to know how many abortions these narcissistic MEN have paid for over their political careers. BAN Viagra.

gtconway3d He can pass these laws because Florida has so many retirees who don't really give a damn about getting pregnant.

These extreme laws keep pushing the extremes in BOTH parties. It’s bad for EVERYBODY! We had a reasonable law which SCOTUS decimated.

The WarOnWomen is real

ReddogOHIO Women are second class citizens in this Country. 😔

Lol the replies here.

Republicans trying to lose in Florida now too? Your one hotspot smh

gtconway3d Well he is doing a bang up job helping to turn FL back to purple.

gtconway3d I wonder why he signed this in the darkness of night?

gtconway3d Thinking could have crafted a bill that would provide some restrictions & still not cut into his own conservative strength. This bill will only add to ground swell of support for Democrats come election time. Politicians holding power never quite learn the lesson of overreach.

Post-menopausal women congratulating themselves.

Florida fighting to protect the most vulnerable - this is great.

Excellent

gtconway3d Otherwise known as the Thelma & Louise & GOP Bill.

Libs are mad that if they get pregnant bc the weren’t practicing safe sex to prevent that baby; they can longer kill that baby in Florida. They are big mad about this. Go to a blue state, they LOVE killing babies. They will kill your baby at 38 weeks if you want them to.

Great!

There’s no such thing as “abortion care”

Weird that you don’t mention any of the exceptions with the bill.

gtconway3d What’s next? Are they going to ban home pregnancy tests to force procreation. Gilead

Where will their Representatives go when they impregnate a minor?

Hope he enjoys Floriduh, he is done.

gtconway3d I have already told my married kids they can't move back to a red state till one of them gets snipped. You think I am the only one? FL will be even more for old people. Good luck, Ron.

gtconway3d While Miami was flooding, cool cool, total priorities

I thought Meatball Ron in Ohio book tour, Florida Legislators Fedex the bill to Ohio? 🙃

gtconway3d DeSantis just aborted his presidential dreams.

Another nail in the coffin of his presidential candidate nomination.

What a coward…if u believe in something do it in front of camera for all to see…

Their state their choice. Don’t like it? Don’t live there.

Not the greatest ad on this article

Are you the man who are worrying about the wife you did domestic violence to are going to do the abortion to your kid as a threat? Don’t worry, we got you

they gonna force them white women to birth more whites babies lol .

People need right to choose

We are Democrats obsessed with abortion? 'Critical Access Point'. Abortion is used as a violent means of birth control. Sucking a baby's brain out after smashing it and the libs call it 'healthcare.' Hitler used to change words to make things sound humane too

I’ve said it before. Same crap. Different year:

Fascist Florida

gtconway3d Men love to control women's bodies. Prick.

gtconway3d And the two white rich Karens look so proud!

Good work!

gtconway3d He’s despicable

That is usually even before a woman even knows that she is pregnant!

Salty cat ladies.

women in Florida and all America now officially hate and abort deSatanist as an abomination

America is a weird place. Conservatives want to ban abortion but happy for kids to die in schools by defending gun rights.

gtconway3d son of desantis has also banned 'blue pills', hasn't he, eh !

. RonDeSantisFL is hell bent on taking away a woman’s right to healthcare and bodily autonomy. He will never win a national election.

Florida and Texas in a race for most fascist governor. Yee. Haw. Fuck these states.

BoycottFlorida boycott every Republican state that has gone full blown fascist.

Republicans are patriarchal white supremacists who want to control women. Ron DeSantis is a fascist. Vote these fascist religious zealots out of every single office. They can not have this power over women.

Dear women of Florida who supported this: thoughts and prayers.

Yep, this is exactly what we figured he would do. As I already said, no representation for most of Florida

mails abortion pills to anyone, anywhere, regardless of local laws. Bodily autonomy is a basic human right.

The MAGA Republican Party is the anti freedom and anti choice party

Most women can't tell if they're pregnant before 6 weeks. What the fuck

gtconway3d BoycottFlorida

'abortion care'

gtconway3d Meatball gonna Meatball

gtconway3d 🤬🤬🤬 Will they provide prenatal & postnatal care? Paid maternity leave? Financial support? Childcare?

Republicans are racing each other to the bottom of despicable, thoughtless, idiotic, and unacceptable acts for which they use no reasoning or commonsense on the impact of most Americans. Can anyone out there expose their longterm true motives? Their actions make no damn sense!

[Allah said], 'If you do good, you do good for yourselves; and if you do evil, [you do it] to yourselves.' Then when the final promise came, [We sent your enemies] to sadden your faces and to enter the temple in Jerusalem, as they entered it the first time.

Floridians should move to CA, MA or WA.

He deserves every bit of what's coming to him.

“Abortion care” This kind of disinformation propaganda is no longer effective at veiling the inhumane nature of abortion.

gtconway3d Why would anyone live in Florida these days

gtconway3d Signed away his (already slim) chance at the presidency for life.

Republicans are a disgrace to this country

gtconway3d Signed away his (already slim) chances presidency for life.

I miscarried twice, once at barely 8 1/2 weeks. But had to get medical attention, it wasn't complete. In Florida, a D&C like that would be illegal? A lot of us never even know we are pregnant until 8-9 weeks. Florida Republicans hate women evidently

Clusters of cells Women's lives. Well done, men. Women should probably all turn lesbian.

ELECTIONS MATTER.

DeSantis 👿

gtconway3d Florida will have trouble recruiting students, doctors, nurses, and businesses. The beaches and Disney will not be able to save the state from DeSantis.

Total scum bag

Well Florida you re-elected him & now you have to suffer the consequences.

Alleluia

gtconway3d Idiots

gtconway3d These old white male lawmakers want to take women back to the 1950s. Ain’t gonna happen. womenwillvoteinforce and genzforchange will register to vote by the thousands and take their voices & blue vote to the polls!

gtconway3d Even if you somehow manage to win the nomination, GovRonDeSantis, this bad decision will be the kiss of death for the general election. You right-wingers have managed to checkmate yourselves.

Wow that's not long at all. These laws are pointless. Only liberals kill their offspring. If only the right would give up morals, values and respect for life, they would win the culture war. The Dems kill 750,000-1,000,000 fetuses a year. They will simply not exist in 50yrs.

lawprofblawg ‘DeSantis Aborts Presidential Ambitions’.

American women need to sue the GOP for passing discriminatory laws that directly harm girls and women. MASSIVE class action suits are needed - bankrupt the corrupt and lawless Republican Party.

Great stuff Governor DeSantis 👍

gtconway3d RonDeSantisFL will never be President! Mickey Mouse has a better chance!!

Somewhere RBG is hoping for women to fight.

Good.

Huh. It’s interesting to watch the end of a presidential campaign in real time.

Six weeks, unless Rape, Incest, Trafficked, then it’s 15 weeks. What’s the difference in those nine weeks if RIT..? Nothing. It’s all actually arbitrary and just a way for Republicans to control women, pander to religious right and continue their drive for national ban.

2024 is going to be interesting.

The fascist ban-everything-Ron is at it again.

Forced birthers keep forcing their sick ideas on the rest of the country, despite people voting again and again that they support abortion rights.

Sickos

Don’t bother voting, republicans. You have already lost.

Republicans keep digging their own grave deeper & deeper. There will be 16 million new eligible Gen Z voters in 2024 and they will annihilate Republicans.

gtconway3d So to all my Floridian sisters; if you suffer fetal demise we will pray for you. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️💕 keep voting for a hypocritical party you will get these results.

gtconway3d Let’s get Mr DeSantis pregnant

WTF!

GOOD LUCK getting the BLACK VOTE PAL. You have “BORN LOSER” tattooed on your forehead my friend.

Yes!!!!

Please don't kill your baby. Jesus can help you through difficult times. At least look into blessing a couple who are desperately praying for what you are desperately looking to move on from. You can do it. Blessings.

gtconway3d Cretin

Really intent on making Florida a shithole state

gtconway3d F*ck Florida. I’ll vacation in Blue States.

abortion care abortion is satanic

This propaganda outlet uses the word 'abortion' with 'care'. Abortion CARE? Seriously?

Women will die.

😒

Blame the voters of Florida for putting this ahole back in office 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤬🤬🤬

.GovRonDeSantis If you think you’ll be elected President, think again. This decision will be your downfall, guaranteed. Women don’t want or need men to control them. Because men who try to command women are dicks. CONTROL DICKS, NOT WOMEN.

gtconway3d They just keep digging. Amazing.

Boycott Florida No vacations there No buying their produce No buying products from any companies HQed there

It’s official!!!! Ron DeSantis will now never become president. Signing this will seal his fate. AbortionRights

Most women wouldn't know if they are pregnant at 6 weeks. This is repulsive and abusive of women's right. WomensRights WomensHealth

Oh no.... liberals won't be able to kill their unborn babies... they are going to be pissed

Shame on him!

DeSantis ambition is 6 weeks away from dead, one of the most popular issue is abortion.

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!!!
