Preamble
While other states were passing Trigger Laws that would outright ban abortion, should Roe v. Wade be overturned, Florida did not. Instead, Florida decided that contrary to true science, life does not start at conception, as cells begin to multiply. Rather, Florida decided Life only begins at 15-weeks.

Political Doublespeak
DeSantis specifically said “Life is a sacred gift worthy of our protection…” but he has not banned abortions? Is that really Pro-Life? No.
DeSantis is, like so many other RINOs, still okay with murdering children in the womb. Only he justifies this barbaric genocide by placing an artificial threshold of 15-weeks.

But Did You Know?
That’s right. The Lawyers for the State of Florida admitted to the court that most abortions would continue unabated.

Plaintiffs have filed a lawsuit against the State of Florida over implementation of House Bill 5 regulating abortion services.
The Truth?
DeSantis knew by selectively choosing 15-weeks, most abortions in Florida would continue unabated.
How It’s Going
That’s according to new statistics from the Agency for Health Care
According to the report, there were more than 82,000 abortions in Florida in 2022.
That’s the highest number of procedures in a single year, since 2008.
The numbers reflect a three percent increase since 2021 and a 10 percent increase over 2020.
Out-of-state abortions saw a more dramatic rise, increasing by 38 percent compared to 2021.
“Florida has in fact become an abortion destination state,” Andrew Shirvell with Florida Voice for the Unborn said.

Closing
No matter how you parse your politics, Florida remains a Pro-Abortion State and DeSantis a Pro-Abortion Politician. You are lying to state otherwise.
Unborn children continue to be butchered by Planned Parenthood in Florida.
So much for pretending to be Pro-Life.
