Given how popular DeSantis is in Florida, why do we think voters will do anything differently?
Don't forget that in Kansas they thought the same thing and then the choice amendment won 60/40%.
Florida still has a lot of dem voters, and passing an amendment to the FL constitution requires approval from I believe 65% or more of voters.
I'm an asshole in Florida that came ( I'm dumb I know) after that monster was elected and I'm voting against anything the right wants.
Hes not that popular he's barely won his first election and the second one half of the dems who voted the first time didn't even cast a vote. His popularity was media hype only and now he's unpopular you don't even hear his name anymore. All the stuff getting passed now is just leftover from when he had pull. All of this shit will get over turned in quick order when dems take the state
I tend to have a difficult time finding how they start the clock on these bans. Do they go from conception, or the typical way doctors use which is from the start of the last period? It makes a difference of about two weeks
Your problem is that you're trying to use logic here. They've clearly demonstrated that they don't care. They want a total ban and they'll use whatever weasle words, workarounds, and loopholes to make it so complicated that by the time you realize you're pregnant and don't want the pregnancy for any reason (including the guaranteed death of mother and fetus) that it's too late to change anything
My understanding is that they're all from the last period.
I'd love to see the legislators that pass these bills quizzed on the subject. You ban it at 6 weeks, what does the baby look like at 2 weeks? I bet none of them respond, it may not have even been conceived yet.
It's not policy that's rationally decided, it's theater to woo evangelical Christian's whose religion exists to persecute others while claiming they themselves are being persecuted.
The one that hurts women more
Also, "in case of rape"? Does that require a conviction for rape, which even in fairly slam dunk cases takes more than the length of the pregnancy? Does the woman have to file a police report and then be able to get an abortion? Do they just have to tell the doctor they were raped? What does "except in cases of rape, etc" mean, practically?
