Florida moves closer to a near-total ban on abortion | Women’s pay in the Tampa Bay area among the lowest in the nation | Tallahassee moves to make more public records secret | Central Florida lawmaker has harsh words from transgendered people
Yesterday, behind closed doors at the Capitol and while many Floridians were sleeping, Governor Ron DeSantis briefly returned to the state from campaigning for President in Ohio to sign into law SB 300, a near-total abortion ban that limits care to a time before many women even know they are pregnant.
While DeSantis was in Ohio, lawmakers in Florida worked to pass a six-week abortion ban that he has expressed support for.
In an online press conference Thursday morning, Ohio Democratic Chairwoman Liz Walters joined Democrats across the state and in Florida calling DeSantis an extremist.
