DeSantis promises to 'expand pro-life protections' after Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade

Sun-Sentinel

No Paywall

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis promised to “expand pro-life protections” following Friday’s U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade and allowing each state to decide whether to allow women access to legal abortions.

Florida can now outlaw abortion, but it won’t be easy. It would take a law passed by the Republican-led legislature, signed by a Republican governor with a record of allegiance to the pro-life movement and his eyes on the White House.

It would also take the state’s conservative Supreme Court overturning previous rulings on a privacy clause in the state constitution that has been interpreted for over 30 years as protecting access to abortion.

Florida already has been moving in the direction of restricting women’s ability to obtain a legal abortion. A 24-hour waiting period went into effect in April. A ban after 15 weeks goes into effect in July.
