... Justices ruled 6-1 to uphold Florida's 15-week abortion ban, which was passed in 2022 but then challenged by Planned Parenthood and other groups as a violation of Florida's constitutional right to privacy.

Comstock Act
LEARN ABOUT IT
If a Republican becomes president, abortion WILL be banned throughout the country.
They are planning it.
Get the message out.
Comstock Act.
If ------- wins, his DOJ will begin enforcing a zombie law from 1873 essentially outlawing abortion.
That WILL happen.

Nope.
What happens next is a bunch of bloviating from Bootsy DeSantis, then another lawsuit or three, filed by various GOP nuts, in an attempt to stop the gears of democracy from grinding to an election...
