‘The Right Thing To Do’: DeSantis Defends Six-Week Abortion Ban After Trump Calling It ‘Too Harsh’
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis defended the newly-signed heartbeat bill Monday after former President Donald Trump called it “too harsh” last week.
The governor, who is widely expected to make a presidential announcement as early as Wednesday, signed the Heartbeat Protection Act on April 13, making it illegal to get an abortion after six weeks gestation. DeSantis insisted that the abortion ban wasn’t harsh, and added that it was “humane” at a National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) convention in Orlando, Florida, Monday.
“When we are acting to protect an unborn child that has a detectable heartbeat, that is humane, that is not harsh – that is the right thing to do,” said DeSantis. (RELATED: ‘Too Harsh’: Trump Calls Out DeSantis Over Six-Week Abortion Ban)
