Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Signs Bill Banning Most Abortions After 15 Weeks

HeadlineApr 15, 2022

Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a bill banning most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. It’s modeled after a Mississippi abortion law that the Supreme Court is currently weighing and which could essentially undo Roe v. Wade. In a statement, NARAL Pro-Choice America called Florida’s abortion ban a “shameless step towards what could be a terrifying new future for reproductive freedom in the country.”
