The Florida state House voted overwhelmingly Thursday to outlaw abortions in the state after six weeks of pregnancy.
The vote was 70-40 in a body that skews heavily Republican.
However, with just 35 Democratic seats, some GOP lawmakers joined the opposition.
The law essentially is a total ban on abortions as most women don't realize they're pregnant until after six weeks.
Florida's Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis supports the bill and has said he will sign it. It previously passed the Florida state Senate.
Earlier Thursday, there was chaos in the Capitol as protesters flooded the building.
Demonstrators were seen shouting and throwing handfuls of stickers and small pieces of paper down on lawmakers as they entered the House chamber.
The stickers provided information on how to receive abortion pills through mail, according to local reports.
Once DeSantis signs the bill it will give Florida one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the country.

I mess up the title
Florida House PASSES six-week abortion ban backed by Ron DeSantis - after protesters sparked chaos by swarming the state capitol and throwing paper at lawmakers
Nah, DeSantis isn’t a cross dresser … yet 😂 (just kidding)
Good news. I know sadly people will cross state lines if they really want to murder a baby.
Now that is something to see in Breaking News.
I’ll add the good news to my Budlite lost 6 billion in stock value. Hey! More winning, I need more winning. 😁
YIPEEEEEE, wonder news!
“The law essentially is a total ban on abortions as most women don’t realize they’re pregnant until after six weeks.“
This is what passes as Journalism now. What an unbelievable piece rubbish. So wrong on so many levels
Male cross dressers can’t get pregnant. Because: SCIENCE!
“Earlier Thursday, there was chaos in the Capitol as protesters flooded the building.
Demonstrators were seen shouting and throwing handfuls of stickers and small pieces of paper down on lawmakers as they entered the House chamber.”
And when will THESE insurrectionists be thrown in Abu Ghraib on the Potomac?
You are generous to call it journalism.
It is not science. It is nature that keeps males from getting pregnant. They were not given the correct equipment to have babies by mother nature.
The law essentially is a total ban on abortions as most women don’t realize they’re pregnant until after six weeks.

Wow! I remember around a half century ago sweating out a few “periods” being a few days late.
“A Few”, but not many, women, don’t realize they are pregnant until the baby is born too!
My point? I think a “normal” woman under “normal” circumstances KNOWS when she is pregnant before six weeks of time has elapsed.
Also, correct me if I’m wrong but medical science, I don’t think, has advanced to the point that they can pinpoint the exact day and time an egg is fertilized in the womb either.
So, “six weeks” is “approximate”...........at best.
Knowing that the FL law is so restrictive, there’s no excuse for a Floridian woman not having sufficient contraception in place as well as having a backup plan as far as procuring an abortion within that 6 week period. Then there’s always Greyhound if they need to go to a neighboring state where abortion is still allowed.
Lol that title will get the clicks!
.........my girlfriend, later my wife, back in our teens had a sister (half century ago). Let’s just call her Suzy. Suzy was MAYBE 18. She got pregnant. She “took Greyhound” to Laredo and got an abortion. She barely survived. Came back home and spent days, as I recall, in the hospital and almost bled to death.
So, I have sympathy for these “girls” but, as polls show, support AGAINST abortion has made a sea change in recent decades and people (the vast majority) just don’t like abortion being used non-chalantly as birth control. As you say, in todays world they have alternatives. Suzy did not. Today, she is a very successful woman in her own right.
