Florida became the latest Republican-led state to clamp down on abortion rights after Governor Ron DeSantis signed a law Thursday that bans the procedure after 15 weeks.
Red states have launched a new wave of pro-life restrictions over the last year, as the Supreme Court weighs a historic challenge that could see federal protections on abortion rolled back completely.
The Sunshine State's new law, which takes effect July 1, contains exceptions if the abortion is necessary to save a mother's life, prevent serious injury or if the fetus has a fatal abnormality.
It does not make exceptions for rape, incest and human trafficking.
Florida's current laws allow abortion up to 24 weeks into the mother's term.
DeSantis, who has been floated as a near-certain favorite for the White House in 2024 if Donald Trump does not run, boasted on Thursday that he was defending 'those who can't defend themselves.'
'This will represent the most significant protections for life that have been enacted in this state in a generation,' DeSantis said as he signed the bill at the 'Nación de Fe' ('Nation of Faith'), an evangelical church in the city of Kissimmee that serves members of the Latino population.
'We are here today to protect life. We are here to defend those who can’t defend themselves,' DeSantis added. 'It’s a statement of our values that every life is important.'
Pro-life group Susan B. Anthony's List lauded DeSantis' 'milestone victory' in a statement obtained by DailyMail.com.
'Governor DeSantis and the Florida Legislature have delivered a milestone victory for women and children. The legislation enacted today may save more than 3,300 lives a year by protecting unborn children, as well as their mothers, from cruel and dangerous late abortions,' SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser said.

God Bless Governor DeSantis.
… We are here to defend those who can’t defend himself…”
Well it’s about Damn time.
good for him
Good for Him.
...is a start
Murdering the unborn children in your womb.
When the leftists DON’T want to pay the price for fornication, it’s a “blob of cells”.
When they want to have children it’s “WE’RE GOING TO HAVE A BABY!”
DEMONIACS!
But first, a constitutional contest that goes all the way to SCOTUS.
Mary Pluckemowt is a fifteen-year-old juvenile delinquent who loves getting pregnant so she can kill the little bastards. She delayed her latest abortion until sixteen weeks, and now wants an abortion. But poopy pants deSantis went and signed this bill into law, ruining her fun. It’s unconstitutional, I tell ya! Let’s tell it to the justices.
At lease some people like ‘tree huggers’ should appreciate that. Defending those that can’t defend themselves, ya know.
Is it possible to “spike” a fetus so that an abortion doctor is grotesquely maimed or killed when he tries to extract it from the womb?
I doubt that. Too bad, tho.
Well, then, I guess it’s up to adults to defend them./duh
