Florida Governor Ron DeSantis delivered his fifth state of the state address on Tuesday, touting his policy record and emphasizing his opposition to the “biomedical security state”. During the speech, Republican state legislator proposed a bill that would ban abortion at six weeks of pregnancy.
DeSantis, a likely 2024 presidential candidate, did not comment on the legislation in his address. Instead, he highlighted his accomplishments, including his pro-family and pro-life stance in the state of Florida. The bill includes exceptions up until the 15th week of pregnancy for people, but does not touch on an even stricter abortion ban that DeSantis supports.
The governor also spoke of Florida’s success in becoming the number one destination for Americans looking for a better life. He credited the state’s success to the “Florida way”, which he believes is the best way to ensure a prosperous future for the state.
The proposed abortion ban has received national attention and has been met with both praise and criticism. Supporters of the bill argue that it is necessary to protect unborn children, while opponents argue that it is a violation of women’s rights.
The bill is currently being debated in the state legislature and it is unclear if it will pass. If it does, it will be a major victory for DeSantis and his conservative agenda. Regardless of the outcome, DeSantis’s speech has made it clear that he is committed to making Florida a better place for its citizens.
