Ron DeSantis quietly signs Florida's 6-week abortion ban into law

Gov. Ron DeSantis quietly signed legislation Thursday that would ban most abortions after six weeks in Florida, a move that will weigh on his likely 2024 presidential bid.

The lack of fanfare around the legislation underscores how tricky abortion politics are for Republicans after the 2022 midterm elections — when Democrats hammered the GOP on the issue nationally — and specifically for DeSantis as he weighs seeking the GOP nomination for president.found that 75% of state residents either somewhat or strongly opposed the six-week ban, including 61% of Republicans.

The abortion fight will no doubt take center stage as the Republican presidential primary contenders try to wade through the issue's murky political waters. Being anti-abortion is a must for any candidate trying to win a Republican presidential primary, but being seen as going too far can be toxic in a general election.

“I am not supporting this bill today, but I believe it will pass and it will become the law of this state,” said Republican state Sen. Alexis Calatyud, whose Miami-based seat Biden won with 54% of the vote in 2020. “And I believe it will go a long way to help change the hearts and minds influenced by a decade of anti-life culture.”

Every progressive media outlet from foxnews to msnbc covered this wall to wall.

God’s prohibit that his children don’t get rape and pregnant or any of his family get a life threatening pregnancy! You know RonDeFascist this situations don’t select who will affect!

There goes his presidential aspirations

With NO exceptions for rape or the life of the mother after 15 weeks.

Wear a condom

“The comfort of the rich depends on an abundant supply of the poor.” - Voltaire

Good!

The UN: Forced pregnancies are Crimes against Humanity.

Six weeks? People don’t even know they’re freakin pregnant yet!

Get your young friends into politics to help save this country from fascism....

Ron DeSantis is MIA as Ft Lauderdale is flooded but he couldn’t wait to sign this abortion bill that he did it behind closed doors late in the evening. Florida, you have one of the worst Governors

“Quietly.” He only tweeted it out to his 4.1 million followers celebrating it 😂

Ban Florida

When people vote for Republicans what do they think will happen? They are all extremist!

Wasn’t this party chanting “My body my choice” a year ago when asked to wear a mask?

No fanfare? In the released photos he was surrounded by women dressed up and by that I mean most seemed to be wearing heels! At midnight? With no planning, they just showed up dressed that way? LOL.

Correct your story - the exception to save the mother doesn't stop at 15 wks; it is unlimited. There is also an exception for fatal fetal abnormality up to the 3rd trimester

Buh bye presidency and political career. 😭😂

For it being so quiet every local and major news network, to include social media, are talking about it. An intentionally misleading headline.

GOP gov't overreach & a preview of plans if elected POTUS. THIS WAS NOT POPULAR IN Florida. He ignored constituents, his GOPFlorida state gov't voted as ordered. DeSantisIsAFascist BansOffOurBodies FloridaFascism organize NikkiFried WomensRightsAreHumanRights

They are so busy regulating other people’s bodies ! Obsessed . Govern your state ! Do something useful ! Stop bullying women .

Congratulations florida you have more restrictive abortion rules then the ukraine all the people with those little flags on Twitter must be overjoyed.

Based.

did they fly it out to him on his book signing/undeclared campaign trail?

Just drop those unwanted baby's off at Ron's place.

Yet no photo op or meal at the signing. Sad day for Florida.

He's a garbageGovernor and a trash human being.

RonDeSantisFL is a fascist and a sociopath...he makes Trump look like an altar boy

Considering more black people are aborted in NY then born, I’d say this is a win for minorities.

Good luck in the general election.

Just signed away the presidency

DeSatan needs to go. He is beyond cruel and hates women.

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!!!
