Rick Scott on 6-week abortion ban: 'If I was still governor, I would sign this bill'

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:55:44 GMT

(The Hill) -- Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) voiced his support for a six-week abortion ban passed by the Florida legislature Thursday, saying that he would sign the bill if he was still governor of the state. "Not true. I am 100% pro-life and if I was still governor, I would sign this bill," Scott said in reply to a tweet Thursday that suggested he would not support the ban. Florida's GOP-controlled state House voted to approve a bill Thursday that would prohibit abortion after six weeks of pregnancy, sending it to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis's (R) desk for signature. DeSantis has signaled his support for more restrictive abortion measures after he signed a 15-week ban on the procedure last year. He is expected to sign the legislation.The 15-week ban approved last year faces legal challenges in the state's Supreme Court. Even if DeSantis signs the bill, the new ban would be contingent on how the court rules in that matter. DeSantis signs 6-week abortion ban into law: ‘We are proud to su...

Some included confidential information on U.S. and NATO support to Kyiv amid Russia’s war on Ukraine, while others included information apparently gleaned from spying on allies such as Israel and South Korea.The documents were shared in an online group reportedly run by 21-year-old Teixeira.
