In an easily missed moment during Wednesday night’s chaotic GOP presidential primary debate, Gov. Ron DeSantis said he would sign a federal 15-week abortion ban.
Wednesday’s comment marked the first time since the launch of his presidential campaign that he said he would sign a national abortion ban.
The Daily Signal was the first to report and confirmed the governor’s remarks.
The moment occurred during an exchange with Sen. Tim Scott, where he asked the governor if he would support a 15-week abortion ban. DeSantis said yes.
The moment was widely missed due to the moderators talking over the pair while the exchange was happening, trying to regain control of the debate.
Republicans - we think states should be allowed to make their own decisions
Also Republicans - we believe this opinion should be forced on all states
I’m so glad that he is making this deeply personal decision for himself and his family. Oh wait…
Step 1: remove a thing. (Example: no more abortions)
Step 2: trickle it back in to see how much you can get away with. (Example: abortions for some, but like with strict limitations)
Step 3: try to win over fans by saying you never believed in removing it in the first place
We are at step 2.
Republicans hate women. They believe them to be second class citizens. Yet, I’ve seen too many not give a shit, until the last minute even. Then even then not put all the pieces of the puzzle together to figure out who is screwing them over. Most times others get blamed in the process. Their brains are broken. Because Republicans are trash doesn’t mean you have to look for others to be trash, too.
Remember the ERA (Equal Rights Amendment)? It was largely defeated by anti-feminist women (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllis_Schlafly#Opposition_to_Equal_Rights_Amendment)
His governorship should’ve been aborted last year, before the second term. But the morons wanted More Ron.
He’s just lying.
Why would you think that? He’s a far right Catholic who gives 0 fucks before charging headfirst into unpopular decisions that will tie his government up in extremely costly lawsuits. People said for decades how they’d never actually overturn roe. Desantis would govern America exactly how he governs Florida

I think the part people are doubting is the length. He would probably go for a much shorter length.
Uh, it’s six weeks in Florida now, not 15.
This is the their first step to a total ban. We need to have roe codified.
