A Florida judge on Thursday said he will block Governor Ron DeSantis’s 15-week ban on abortion. Governor DeSantis (R) signed the 15-week abortion ban into law in April.

“This is a time where these babies have beating hearts. They can move, they can taste, they can see, they can feel pain, they can suck their thumbs, and they have brain waves. And so this will represent the most significant protections for life that have been enacted in this state in a generation,” DeSantis said this spring.
