Sun-SentinelNo Paywall
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis promised to expand pro-life protections following Fridays 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 wont 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 states 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 womens 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.
