Joe Biden Deems Florida’s 15-Week Abortion Ban ‘Extreme,’ Vows to Fight for Termination of Unborn

Hannah Knudsen 2 Apr 2024
President Joe Biden called Florida’s 15-week abortion law “extreme” on Tuesday and vowed to continue to fight for women to have the ability to terminate their unborn children.

The Florida Supreme Court on Monday ruled that the state’s 15-week abortion law, which Gov. Ron DeSantis signed in 2022, will be upheld as the plaintiff, Planned Parenthood, “cannot overcome the presumption of constitutionality and is unable to demonstrate beyond a reasonable doubt that the 15-week ban is unconstitutional.”

The justices added that “consistent with longstanding principles of judicial deference to legislative enactments, we conclude there is no basis under the Privacy Clause to invalidate” the 15-week limit on terminating an unborn child.

The ruling impacts the six-week abortion ban, or heartbeat bill, as well, which DeSantis signed into law in April 2023. Originally, Florida’s Supreme Court allowed the six-week limit to remain blocked until there was a ruling on the 15-week ban, but as Breitbart News reported, “As a result of their ruling, the justices said the ‘six-week ban will take effect in thirty days.'” Notably, there are exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the mother.
However, the Court is also allowing an abortion ballot measure to move forward, giving Florida voters the chance to draw a firm line in the sand with how far they want to go in allowing the murder of unborn children in the state Constitution.

Predictably, Biden and his pro-abortion allies are saddened by this news.

Florida GOP: Pro-Abortion Amendment Would ‘Allow Abortions Up to 6 Months of Pregnancy’

The pro-abortion ballot measure that FL voters will decide on in November would allow abortions up to 6 months into pregnancy, the Florida GOP said.

The pro-abortion amendment ballot measure that Florida voters will decide on in November would allow abortions up to six months into pregnancy, the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) said on Monday, expressing disappointment in what they said was the “deceptively worded pro-abortion amendment.”

“We are very disappointed that a deceptively worded pro-abortion amendment is allowed to appear on Florida’s ballot in November. If passed, it will allow abortions up to 6 months of pregnancy and, thanks to a loophole, even to point of birth,” Florida GOP chairman Evan Power said in a statement.

“Florida will become the most pro-abortion state in the southern U.S. That is NOT what Florida wants, and the Republican Party of Florida will fight to inform voters on the dangers of this amendment,” he continued, expressing “no surprise that Nikki Fried and the Florida Democrats will be celebrating this radical pro-abortion amendment on the ballot because their extreme agenda knows no bounds.”

“FL Dem Chair Fried was even afraid to truthfully answer the simple question of whether a man could get an abortion. Florida voters know better and they will reject the radical agenda being pushed by FL Dems this November,” he predicted:

Wingnut:
Biden's Gen Z handlers think this a wedge issue for him to campaign on to win FL this November.  That might be the case in any other year.  But polls show that Killing the unborn is like no. 6 on the list of top concern of Floridians.
They are:
Illegal Immigration.
Cost of living
Cost of health care
Cost of Housing
Cost of Insurance.
Abortion.
