'I'm conscious of the diversity of opinion in the United States.'
Ron DeSantis spent the last two legislative sessions tightening Florida’s abortion law, but you wouldn’t know it from his choice-friendly comments in New Hampshire, where he again stressed he didn’t want to Make America Florida when it comes to reproductive rights.
“I’m conscious of the diversity of opinion in the United States, New England is different than Wisconsin is different than Georgia. You know, but at the end of the day, you know, we do want to promote a culture of life,” DeSantis said, adding that it’s up to Congress and not him to tighten national laws against the procedure.
“The Congress is the one that actually, you know, does the legislation. I think if you looked at what’s happened there, there’s not been a lot of productive things that have been done across a wide variety of issues,” the Governor added, during an interview on WMUR’s “Conversations with the Candidate.”
The Governor continues to soften his abortion message as a candidate.
On Fox News “Special Report” during an interview last week with Bret Baier, the Florida Governor again explained why President DeSantis wouldn’t push for a national version of the state’s Heartbeat Protection Act.
“Now, I also acknowledge and understand that in my region of the country and down in the Southeast, it’s a little bit different than where we are up here in New England. I don’t think New England states would probably, you know, adopt something along the lines of a heartbeat (bill),” DeSantis told Baier.

Is this his valley girl impersonation?
Trump was right.
Big donor says to moderate.
DeSanctus backtracks.
News flash: yesterday Ron sided with the rats and said the voter fraud theories have bern proven wrong , as if.
Because he understands it is a states rights issue, which is where it belongs.
Obeying his “moderate” donor. Remember when we thought had two good presidential candidates to choose from? He’s destroying his reputation to the point that he won’t even have a chance in 2028.
[[ Vilek love transgenders in the military, immigrants from Asia, abortion, and does not believe fraud occurred in 2020. ]]
Thnaks for the info- wasn’t aware that he supported those things. All we hear on the TV are his more conservative talking points. Those 4 issues are huge no go’s for me.
Surely, the special 8th day warrior creation, the expert on courage, is not softening.
I don’t see the softening. He has repeated shared that at federal level he would stop public funding of abortion and abortion travel, such as the military. He’s also stated that specific states need to determine there own laws, noting that what works in Florida and Iowa might not work in the Northeast, for example. I sure have not seen a change overall and I’ve ben watching closely.
Besides, whatever DeSantis is doing is definitely more conservative and consistent than Trump who has openly criticized Florida’s restrictive abortion laws, maybe others. Trump’s not a conservative and on the topic his only legit claim is three Supreme Court justices.
He has no core. He is whatever is good for him & his donors.
He is another politician who will do nothing to stop America’s destruction.
DeepStatis is a DeepState Robot.
The only difference between him and Mitt Romney is that he had to run as a conservative to get elected in Florida and govern as one to have any chance of ever have chance of winning the GOP nomination for President.
But, he's proven there isn't a principled bone in his body.
This doesn’t surprise me.
I know. Not thrilled.
That issue is make or break for me. Ron sided with the rats 2 days after Biden had the DOJ force Trump into a rigged DC court to face BS felony charges. It’s unforgivable. He didn’t just stab Trump in the back he stabbed all of us in the back.
I’m not a DeSantis supporter, but part of what he’s saying is correct -— it’s A State’s Rights issue. But then he flubs it and says it’s a Congressional issue. Riding the fence, talking out of both sides of his mouth. I hear he’s been told by his donors to “moderate”. “You are neither hot nor cold. I will spew you out of my mouth”.
“THIS after Robert (Deuce) Bigelow, “Male Gigolo”, THREATENED him.” It will be interesting to see what happens when Ole Deuce asks Ronnie to commit an abortion on live television.
Really? President Trump believes in exceptions for Rape, Incest and the Life of the Mother. I happen to agree.
Uh, the fight against Roe was a fight to put the issue back in the hands of the states.
That was what was done.
There was no softening.
