Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said on Friday the state would enhance its pro-life protections, while applauding the high court’s overturn of Roe v. Wade.
“By properly interpreting the Constitution, the prayers of millions have been answered,” DeSantis said in a June 24 Twitter post in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to undo Roe v. Wade, following a leaked draft majority opinion in May. The landmark 1973 ruling decriminalized abortion nationwide for the past 50 years.
