How many wins can Ron DeSantis have in a single year?
Ron DeSantis has just signed into law HB5, banning abortion after the 15-week mark in the state of Florida.
We are here today to protect life! We are here today to defend those who can't defend themselves.
Can I get an "amen!"?
It is just wonderful to see this. Whether it's in Mississippi, Arizona, Oklahoma, Texas, Alabama, or Florida the right is FINALLY standing up for life and passing effective legislation to end abortion.
This law in Florida, modeled after the law in Mississippi which has made its way up to the Supreme Court, would ban all abortions after 15 weeks.
From the Tallahassee Democrat:
Gov. Ron DeSantis has publicly signed into law a 15-week abortion ban that shortens by more than two months the current window available to legally terminate a pregnancy.
Within minutes of his office announcing that he had received the bill (HB 5), approved by the Legislature in March, DeSantis held a bill signing ceremony and rally at an evangelical church in Kissimmee.
The new law, which goes into effect July 1, significantly reduces access to late-term abortions in the southeast — North Carolina will become the only southern state to permit an abortion after 15 weeks.
Republican lawmakers in both the House and Senate had defeated amendments that would have made exceptions for rape, incest, human trafficking and mental health. The only exceptions allowed are cases where the mother is at risk of death, "irreversible physical impairment" or if the fetus has a fatal abnormality...
If a physician violates provisions of the abortion ban, they would be guilty of a third-degree felony, punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
Despite attempts to weaken the bill with exceptions, Republican lawmakers fought through and presented the governor with a strong bill.
Whenever I see moments like this from DeSantis, it reminds me of one of the greatest hits of Donald Trump:
Ronny D! We are not tired of winning yet!
Keep it up!
DeSantis 2024!
