Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, signed legislation on Thursday that will protect the lives of unborn children by prohibiting the performance of most abortions if the gestational age of a baby is greater than 15 weeks.
DeSantis, a conservative who is seeking re-election during the Sunshine State’s 2022 gubernatorial contest, said that the legislation marks “the most significant protections for life” to be enacted in Florida “in a generation.” Our bill protects unborn babies from abortion after 15 weeks u2013 these are babies with beating hearts, who can move, taste, see and feel pain.nnProud to defend life!pic.twitter.com/Xz6v4K4KGC — Ron DeSantis (@Ron DeSantis) 1649961316 The law, which is slated to take effect on July 1, allows exceptions if an abortion is deemed necessary to preserve the mother’s life or to avoid a significant risk of serious injury — there is also an exception allowed in cases where the fetus has not yet reached viability and has been determined to suffer a “fatal fetal abnormality.”
U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist of Florida, a Democrat with his sights set on the governorship, noted that if he were governor he would have vetoed the bill. “Women should make decisions about their own bodies, not governors. I’d veto this bill and any attempt to restrict the right to choose. Full stop,” Crist tweeted .
Crist previously served as Florida governor from early 2007 to early 2011. The politician was a Republican when he was elected to serve as governor, but in 2010, he lost a U.S. Senate bid while running as an independent.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We just launched a GiveSendGo page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
