A stricter abortion ban proposed in Florida could have implications for access to the procedure across the South — and figure into the 2024 presidential race
Less than a year after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, an expected Republican presidential contender, signed a ban on abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, he’s showing support for an even stricter ban introduced this week by state lawmakers. His position could have implications for access to abortion not only in Florida but across the South — and also figure into the 2024 presidential race.
The measure would also require that the drugs used in medication-induced abortions — which make up the majority of those provided nationally — could be dispensed only in person by a physician. “A six-week ban is a really substantial shock to practical abortion access across the South,” said Caitlin Myers, an economics professor at Middlebury College in Vermont who studies abortion access.Nationally, only about 4% of abortions occur after the 15-week mark, but most of them happen after 6 weeks and 6 days.
