Will be really interesting to see where Desantis comes down on a complete abortion ban in Florida

[Alhena]

the current Florida law only prevents abortion after 15 weeks, and the vast majority of abortions take place before then. Polls show Floridians are strongly pro-choice, so it may be political suicide for Desantis to go for a complete ban:

[In It to Win It]

1. His shtick is taking the radical position and then

the dumbasses in the Florida legislature will give it to him. Then, he vetoes the most radical parts of the legislation. Vetoing the most radical parts makes him appear "more reasonable."

It makes him look like he's less insane than the Republicans in the legislature. Then, they'll sit there looking all sad with droopy faces after he vetoes the worst parts.

2. When faced with choices like this, DeSantis has hard lined everyone of them

I’d guess he’ll go full ban and double down on any pushback. I’ve been wrong before though, and in this case, hope to be wrong again.

3. The state Supreme Court said (1989) that he can't touch the first trimester

It will take some wrangling to keep even the 15-week ban.

4. When has he ever not taken the most extreme position possible?

He will happily sign a full ban on all abortions.

5. Apparently the Legislature won't enact a full ban unless he pushes them to do so

If he does so, in the face of the poll numbers I linked, with an election coming, then he's a pretty dumb politician. Florida isn't Texas or Mississippi.
