Tallahassee, FL: Tonight behind closed doors Governor Ron DeSantis signed one of the most consequential and devastating bills for women’s healthcare into law. SB300 bans abortion at 6 weeks and strips away bodily autonomy for more than half of the state. Here is Rep. Eskamani’s response.
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Floridians and Americans overwhelmingly oppose abortion bans and tonight Governor DeSantis further proved that point by signing Florida’s most extreme abortion ban into law near midnight and behind closed doors. His sick and sad attempt to avoid public backlash will not work. We will organize, mobilize and continue to build a coalition of Floridians and Americans who oppose abortion bans and respect bodily autonomy. This is a devastating day for Floridians and especially for Florida’s women. We will and must fight back, not just for ourselves but for the rights of future generations to come.
