Description
Moving quickly on what supporters call the “Heartbeat Protection Act,” Gov. Ron DeSantis late Thursday signed a bill preventing abortions in Florida after six weeks of pregnancy.
The tighter restrictions follow a 15-week abortion limit signed into law last year, which did not include exceptions for rape, incest or human trafficking.
