Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a 15-week abortion ban into law on Thursday.
The legislation allows for abortions past 15 weeks only in situations involving a"fatal fetal abnormality," and makes no exceptions for rape or incest. The law limits the time an abortion is legal by nine weeks, as abortions were previously banned in the state past 24 weeks.
DeSantis was joined by numerous pro-life activists at the bill signing event. Some of the activists shared stories of abortions they regretted, others of adopting children who had survived abortion attempts. . Mississippi also enacted a 15-week abortion ban last year. Both the Mississippi law and the Texas law have been challenged before the Supreme Court.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor railed against her colleagues' decision to allow the ban to remain in effect in December.
