Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Thursday vowed to appeal a judge’s decision to temporarily block Florida’s 15-week abortion ban, which the court called unconstitutional. DeSantis said at a press conference on Florida’s “Improved Civics Literacy Rates” that his administration had been expecting this decision and will continue the “legal battle.”
Seven states have now outlawed abortion, but federal judges in Kentucky, Louisiana and Utah have temporarily blocked “trigger bans” in those states from taking effect.
The 15-week abortion ban took effect Friday, July 1. However, a Florida judge indicated he will block its implementation.
A day before the state was set to implement a law that would ban most abortions after 15 weeks, a Florida judge said he will temporarily block it.
