In an easily missed moment during Wednesday night’s chaotic GOP presidential primary debate, Gov. Ron DeSantis said he would sign a federal 15-week abortion ban.
Wednesday’s comment marked the first time since the launch of his presidential campaign that he said he would sign a national abortion ban.
The Daily Signal was the first to report and confirmed the governor’s remarks.
The moment occurred during an exchange with Sen. Tim Scott, where he asked the governor if he would support a 15-week abortion ban. DeSantis said yes.
The moment was widely missed due to the moderators talking over the pair while the exchange was happening, trying to regain control of the debate.
He is just saying it. Its not real, he will absolutely change his mind. They always do.
This is DeSantis we’re talking about here. A man who has stopped at practically nothing to inflict his own conservative ideology upon the people of Florida.
There are many, many colourful things I would call DeSantis, to the point where I’d be even more sweary than the South Park movie.
Of all the things I’d call him, ‘all bark and no bite’ is not one of them.
Everyone in awhile a politician says what he will really do if elected. This is one of those time I believe he would.
You mean that you think it’s going to be less than 15 weeks when they try to implement it, right? Like a total abortion ban?
Yes. A lot less, possibly the outright ban.
