Republicans beat out Democrat opposition on a new abortion ban that will take effect in Florida, limiting the terminating of most pregnancies to under 6-weeks, with the only exceptions being early pregnancies (up until 15 weeks) caused by rape or incest.
According to NBC News, "final passage came after a marathon floor hearing in the state House, which passed the proposal largely along party lines in a 70-40 vote after the Senate passed it on April 3." The bill will now be handed off to Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is prepared to sign it through.
