DeSantis commits to a 15-week national abortion ban for the first time
Gov. Ron DeSantis says for the first time he would support a 15-week national abortion ban.
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.
