Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has dismissed the idea that women could be legally punished for breaching abortion laws, while shying away from committing to a federal-level abortion ban.

In April, Mr. DeSantis signed into law a ban on abortion after six weeks. The law punishes any person who actively participates in the termination of pregnancy after this period.
