A proposed six-week abortion ban received overwhelming approval from a Florida House committee Thursday as even Democrats acknowledged there's nothing they can do to stop it from eventually becoming law.
The proposal is moving along while a 15-week abortion ban signed into law by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis last year i s still being challenged. The new proposal would only go into effect if the current law is upheld and would would make it a crime to provide an abortion past six weeks’ gestational age.
