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

Florida's Republican Governor Ron De Santis 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."
