Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) touts Florida's 15-week abortion ban with no exception for rape, incest, or

The Recount via Yahoo News

Speaking at the Hialeah National Day of Prayer Breakfast, Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) declared that “our rights come from God and not from government.” He added that the primary purpose of government is to provide a structure for an ordered society in which "individual liberties are respected.”

Despite his position on individual liberties, DeSantis recently signed an anti-choice measure that bans abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy in Florida into law. However, the first-term governor, and potential GOP presidential candidate, has not taken a position yet on the contents of the recently leaked Supreme Court draft ruling on Roe v. Wade. The draft indicated that the Court was leaning towards overturning the 1973 landmark court case that established a woman’s constitutional right to choose to have an abortion.

DeSantis reinforced his anti-choice position during his remarks at the prayer breakfast. “We've enacted protections for the right to life,” he said.

it makes me wonder if the SC will come with a change to Roe for 15 weeks instead of 26 weeks.

Citizens have rights. He wants women to be domestic slaves and baby factories.
