Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis late Thursday signed into law a ban on abortions after six weeks, shortly after the Florida House passed the bill.
“We are proud to support life and family in the state of Florida,” DeSantis said in a statement. “I applaud the legislature for passing the Heartbeat Protection Act that expands pro-life protections and provides additional resources for young mothers and families.”
