KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Most abortions in Florida would be banned after 15 weeks of pregnancy under a bill signed into law by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday.
The governor signed the legislation, effective July 1, surrounded by GOP lawmakers and in front of a large crowd at Nacion de Fe Church in Kissimmee with a screen that read “Florida is Pro-Life” and “Protect Life” behind him.
“We are here today to protect life,” the governor told the cheering crowd. “We are here today to defend those who can’t defend themselves.”
