On Thursday, the Florida House passed SB 300, a bill banning abortions after six weeks of gestation with limited exceptions.
The Florida Senate already had approved the bill on April 3. Late Thursday, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed it.
“We have the opportunity to lead the nation on protecting life and giving every child the opportunity to be born and find his or her purpose,” bill sponsor Rep. Jenna Persons-Mulicka, R-Fort Myers, said at the end of a debate.
