Florida Lawmakers Vote to Ban Abortions After 15 Weeks

“Florida legislators voted to ban most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy on Thursday, a move that would severely restrict access to the procedure in a state that for decades has been a refuge for women from across the South,” the New York Times reports.

“The bill — modeled after a similar abortion ban in Mississippi that the U.S. Supreme Court appears poised to uphold — now heads to the desk of Gov. Ron DeSantis as part of a sweeping push by Republicans to put the state at the forefront of the nation’s culture wars.”

Washington Post: “The 15-week ban makes no exception for rape, incest or human trafficking.”
