TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Vice President Kamala Harris blasted Florida’s proposed six-week abortion ban on Monday, calling it an “extreme” attack that will put the government in charge of health care decisions and effectively wipe out abortion access throughout the South.
The White House’s criticism foreshadows a clash over an issue that likely will be at the forefront of the 2024 presidential election.
Florida Republicans are considering banning abortions after six weeks of pregnancy with limited exceptions. With the GOP holding supermajorities in the Legislature, the measure is likely to pass.
