Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed the Heartbeat Protection Act into law late Thursday night, which prohibits abortions in the state once an unborn child has a detectable heartbeat.

“We are proud to support life and family in the state of Florida,” DeSantis said. “I applaud the Legislature for passing the Heartbeat Protection Act that expands pro-life protections and provides additional resources for young mothers and families.”

A statement from the governor’s office highlighted how Left-wing states like California and New York have worked to legalize “infanticide up until birth,” while DeSantis has “enacted historic measures to defend the dignity of human life and transform Florida into a pro-family state.”

Florida Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nuñez wrote on Twitter: “@GovRonDeSantis and I are proud to stand for the unborn.”

“By signing this legislation, our administration reaffirms its commitment to protecting innocent life and standing by strong families in Florida,” she added.
