Ron DeSantis Couldn't Wait to Restrict Women's Rights

The Florida state legislature passed a six-week abortion ban on Thursday afternoon, leaving Ron DeSantis to sign the bill into law. He did so almost immediately, signing the bill in a ceremony surrounded by supporters.

“We are proud to support life and family in the state of Florida,” DeSantis said of gutting of reproductive rights, which is already being challenged in court. “I applaud the Legislature for passing the Heartbeat Protection Act that expands pro-life protections and provides additional resources for young mothers and families.”

DeSantis didn’t announce the signing until 11 p.m., leading many to wonder whether he’s trying to tamp down publicity of the new law, which won’t go into effect until court challenges are resolved.

It wouldn’t be hard to understand if this were the case. Restricting abortion access is deeply unpopular across the United States, and it’s hurting Republicans at the ballot box. The Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade last summer was widely blamed for the the party’s underwhelming performance in the midterms, and just last week liberal judge Janet Protasiewicz easily won a hotly contested Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin after running largely as an abortion advocate.

2. He and the cons want to punish Women for having sex without their permission.

They are angry that Women wont have sex with them, also. This is another reason they want, wait WILL punish Women.

3. What is with all those women in the picture?

Are they too dumb to realize this could kill them, even if every pregnancy they have is wanted. They’re happy not to have bodily autonomy? WTF???

4. Probably all come from...

... Well-to-do families who can get care under the table so they don't care. They would be happy to have the law be applied to the slurs who are one of "those" people (for any given definition of "those".)
