This is just a sampling I am sure of what is to come.
DeSantis claims millions of prayers are answered with this ruling.
I guess he forgot the part of millions of lives being ruined including rape and incest victims. He left out the part of no food programs for these walking and talking children. He also left out the part of no expansion of medicaid. He also left out the part about book banning and his cancel culture. He left out the gun massacres. He left out the active shooter drills and killings by his gun worship in Florida. Selective Memory.
This is what he said.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis released a statement Friday on the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, saying, "the prayers of millions have been answered."
The decision announced Friday ends constitutional protections for abortion that had been in place nearly 50 years.
In April, Gov. DeSantis signed Florida’s abortion bill into law. The bill prohibits abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy without exemptions for rape or incest. It does allow exemptions if the pregnancy is a serious risk to the mother or if a fatal fetal abnormality is detected.
Here is Gov. DeSantis' full statement released Friday:
The prayers of millions have been answered. For nearly fifty years, the U.S. Supreme Court has prohibited virtually any meaningful pro-life protection, but this was not grounded in the text, history or structure of the Constitution. By properly interpreting the Constitution, the Dobbs majority has restored the people’s role in our republic and a sense of hope that every life counts. Florida will continue to defend its recently-enacted pro-life reforms against state court challenges, will work to expand pro-life protections, and will stand for life by promoting adoption, foster care and child welfare.
Walking around carrying weapons of war is not in the constitution either but you people pick the constitution like the Bible at a Buffet restaurant...Take what you like and leave the rest off your plate. How many did you kill with the no mask mandate ….Oh and when did banning books get into the constitution? You are a hypocritical dictator. Don’t piss on us and tell us it is raining. We are wet enough. Foster Care and Child Welfare? You wouldn’t even expand Medicaid and mocked mask wearers of children. If you don’t trust a women to make decisions of her own healthcare, how do you expect her to make decisions regarding raising children?
Previously, Florida allowed abortions through the second trimester, making it one of the most lenient states in the Southeast.
Other state leaders are reacting to the decision, including Northwest Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz. Here is his statement:
Wonder how many 17 year olds he impregnated? Someone should ask. Not to mention that insurrection and wanting pardons is hunkie dorey. YOU POS pedophile traitor.
I applaud the courage of the Supreme Court in standing up for our most vulnerable in the face of violent intimidation from leftist agitators and the Democratic Party. Roe and Casey were bad science and bad law. Now they’re history. The Supreme Court’s decisions in Roe v. Wade, and Planned Parenthood v. Casey were a stain on the judiciary. Abortion is not deeply rooted in our nation’s history; it is not found in our common law. The Constitution is clear that Americans are entitled to life and should not be deprived of it without due process of law. Every day, the unborn are denied this due process when their skulls are crushed and they are ripped from their mothers’ wombs, limb by limb, until their little hearts stop beating. That ends today. States are now free to create law that opposes the evil of abortion and enshrines the unborn’s right to life.
Hey Matt, where were the rights of the people on January 6th who had fairly elected a president.
Insurrection, and beating police with flag poles were entitled to life. Why did you want a pardon dude? You speak like you may be qualified to pick up trash, which you aren’t but there is plenty of trash in Tallahassee and down near Palm Beach at a place called Maralargo where an orange idiot lives. Trash picking up trash… Nah you are not qualified to pick up trash either. Just fondling young girls and trashing the constitution and of course running with Marjorie Snotgreen.
Abortion is not deeply rooted in our nation’s history; it is not found in our common law. The Constitution is clear that Americans are entitled to life and should not be deprived of it without due process of law.
Senator Rick Scott provided this statement:
The importance of today’s decision by the Supreme Court cannot be overstated. For nearly 50 years, our country endured flawed legal reasoning that invented an implied constitutional right to abortion while stripping authority from lawmakers according to the will of the people. Today, the Court correctly interpreted the Constitution, defended human dignity and the foundational principle of federalism, and rightly declared that there is no constitutional right to end the life of an unborn child. I firmly believe that life begins at conception and that every child deserves to be welcomed into this world with open and loving arms. Abortion ends a life. It is abhorrent and has no place in our society. While we celebrate the Court’s latest ruling, the fight to protect the sanctity of life is not over. Lawmakers and the pro-life movement have the responsibility to make adoption more accessible and affordable, and do everything in our power to meet the needs of struggling women and their families so they can choose life. We cannot stop fighting until every life, born and unborn, is valued.
Really Rick? How many born was valued when you refused to expand medicaid? Really Mister 75 times Fifth amendment flunkie.
Senator Marco Rubio issued this statement:
Today the Supreme Court correctly returned the power to regulate abortion to the states. I will soon introduce a proposal to support mothers and their babies so that every child has a real opportunity to pursue the promise of America. Todays decision means that the laws regarding abortion in your state will now be decided by elected legislators in your state.
Why now? You don’t care about children. You say abortion will be decided by elected legislators. Where and when did they get a medical license and do they know each woman who knows her own body? What a stupid remark. But then again, “ Look whose talking”.
You folks might want to worry about Disney. They are pretty ticked about all this fascism.
NEW YORK, June 24 (Reuters) - U.S. companies including Walt Disney Co (DIS.N) and Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc (META.O) said on Friday they will cover employees' expenses if they have to travel for abortion services after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade.
