This November, Florida residents will decide whether to amend their state constitution to protect reproductive rights, overturning the state's near-total abortion ban after six weeks of pregnancy.
Caroline and other women who love being mothers (or simply want to be able to plan their lives) are being terrorized by DeSantis and other Republicans. These actions are heartless and ignorant. Thank you for the detailed exposure of Florida's Abortion laws and the story of Amendment 4. Not only is Caroline going through all kinds of hell, she lives in the path of the oncoming Hurricane Milton.
"...any act by which the health and lives of individuals may be endangered..."
DeSantis is a perfect little nazi.
I feel for Florida because that greedy little incompetent is their governor hours before the catastrophic hurricane Milton hits the state. He will accept every resource the Federal Gov't. can give, which he should, and allow the orange traitor to go on national TV and tell the country 'nothing is being done to help', and 'they spend the FEMA money on illegal aliens'.
Up is down and down is up.
Get everyone you know to VOTE BLUE up and down ballot. It is the only way to get this ship straight.
DeSantis is trying to show Trump what a clever fascist he can be by shitting all over the people of Florida, and stealing from them and lying, as a job interview for Trump's administration. Why the people in Florida support him is beyond me. I just feel that it is tragic that he is trying to turn Florida into Hungary, and stupid people in the state are letting him. I would like to see all Democrats leave the state if they do not win this round, and let Republican Floridians reap what DeSantis has sown, on their own.
When fascists get desperate, desperate fascists do very desperate things. Your rights simply don't matter, especially if you're a woman. And now that women are now 2nd class citizens due to fascists overturning Roe vs Wade, the GOP will do anything to keep it that way, rights be damned.
They choose times when people are distracted or desperate to push their agenda forward. Floridians may not notice how he sent a lot of resources to TN and NC as Milton was forming. He did that instead of things like using National Guard to help Floridians prepare & help remove debris.
The justification? In a later statement he said lot of Floridians spend the summer in those states. This article has a long list of resources he was deploying.
The Heritage Foundation opposes to abortion rights claim: The statement also asserts that more permissive abortion laws “may negatively affect the growth of state and local revenues over time.”
An abhorrent statement on several levels...but my response is ...bring in more immigrants if you're concerned about Florida’s population dwindling!! Oh, wait! Are they the wrong 'color'?
Obviously, and infuriatingly, legislators making laws pertaining to medicine and medical decisions, cannot be comprehensive enough to address all possible scenarios. That's why we go to medical school for several years. Most legislators are totally ignorant of medicine...especially pertaining to women's health.
DeSantis knows that Amendment 4 is going to pass and another brick in his precious fascist wall will crumble. He also knows that having Amendment 4 on the ballot threatens Scott and more than a few MAGA congressmen, who are already going to be in deep shit for voting against FEMA funding as the state gets crushed by another hurricane. Brownback proved MAGAnomics are a failure in Kansas. DeSantis is proving that MAGA social engineering is a failure in Floriduh.
The GOP has been captured by fraudsters & power by any means authoritarians. The projection & propaganda never stops.
Trump & Vance can’t handle the truth threatening fact checkers, whistleblowers & truth tellers with retribution. https://wapo.st/3XXgHPt
Trump & MAGA whine about booming Bidenomics: 98% of jobs created since 1989 were created during Democratic administrations. Republicans have lost jobs while ballooning the deficit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbPBuk5QoV8
Thank you for bringing this to light. I've been incensed by the use of a state public health office to air lightly veiled lies and political adds on tv. This is another attempt by DeSantis to circumvent the will of the majority of Floridians who support a woman's rights and try to again take away abortion access. The legal actions should be directed toward him and his flunkies!
There is virtualy no reason for any business to be based in Florida... Disney? and now that nature is showing its strength against the state will DeSantis only allow aid from those with 12th century views on life and women? Ron, are you , in fact, human?

It is appalling, and the fact that he is turning down FEMA help for people without asking them whether they want him to "save money" on their backs, for his wealthy constitutants like Ken Griffin. https://www.inc.com/brian-contreras/floridas-richest-man-is-opening-a-pricey-new-miami-office-hes-not-only-one.html

DeSantis thinks he’s the king of FL. The FL health website is a joke and full of lies

They may have no choice after they are hit with hurricane Milton.
Project 2035 is alive and well in Florida.
DeSantis is trying to be the poster child for implementing Project 2025.
Florida is off the charts dark under the Republican Party. It’s become the state of storms, suppression, and festering ignorance. This cannot stand.

The US workforce is shrinking. Their abortion laws are making it worse as is anti-immigration stance and fears of more restrictions on contraception.

Indeed. Let their incompetence and inept corruption be further exposed to the world!
They are trying to cover their deadly actions by being allowed to lie about it. We’re getting around their lies.
There's only one nuisance here, and it's Ron DeSantis.
Yup. A sanitary nuisance. Bag him up and toss hm into the crapper!

If there is a hell, I can see Ronnie D there giving birth over and over and over and over and over...
With no epidural!🤣
What is the outcome of the DeSantis regime’s threat to jail the network executive if he did not comply with Dear Leader and pull the advertisement?
Did the network file suit and continue to run the ad?
Or, did the network do as Dear Leader demanded and stop running the ad?
I hope to read a follow-up that says this exceutive told Ronnie and Da Boyz to pound sand!
DeSantis is despicable. Great report, Judd.
