'You're Killing Us': Florida Women Sting Lawmakers Over 6-Week Abortion Ban [View all]

[RandySF]

Two Black women in Florida have called out the state for denying them medical care in the wake of Gov. Ron DeSantis signing a six-week abortion ban into law on Thursday.

MSNBC’s Katie Phang spoke with Floridians Anya Cook and Shanae Smith-Cunningham on Saturday, the former of whom described feeling like she was going to die while pregnant last year.

The six-week ban could go into effect if the state’s current 15-week ban on abortions is upheld in a legal challenge in the Florida Supreme Court.

“You’re killing us,” Cook said in a message to Florida lawmakers.
