Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis disputed Donald Trump’s claim that many anti-abortion activists felt a new six-week abortion ban DeSantis signed “was too harsh,” The Messenger reports.
Said DeSantis: “Protecting an unborn child when there’s a detectable heartbeat is something that almost 99 percent of pro-lifers support.”
He added: “I signed the bill, I was proud to do it. He won’t answer whether he’d sign it or not.”
