Florida lawmakers approve strictest abortion ban in state's history

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida’s Republican-controlled Senate on Thursday night approved the strictest abortion ban in the state’s history, ending a monthslong fight over reproductive rights that pitted GOP lawmakers against Democrats and activists who fought against the measure but were powerless to stop it.

The bill, HB 5, now heads to the desk of Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has signaled he will sign it into law. It’s expected to go into effect on July 1.

The measure prohibits women from receiving abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. It provides no exceptions for victims of rape, incest or human trafficking. Existing Florida law restricts abortions after 24 weeks.

The Florida House approved an identical measure two weeks ago.

1. I'm going to assume while passing abortion restrictions they also funded sweeping pre-natal and...

early childhood care programs.

What? They didn't?

One was - Active participation in the pledge of allegiance and prayer will be mandatory in every public school and at every public event. We didn't get much further in our discussion. He went home to read the bible.
