Grand Old Party of Dysentery

Sen. Rick Scott of Florida this week…[said] he opposes a November ballot initiative to strike down his state’s six-week abortion ban but thinks Congress should leave those decisions to the states.


After the Florida Supreme Court approved the abortion amendment for November’s ballot, Scott said in a statement that he believes in “reasonable limits placed on abortion” and is focused on ensuring that in vitro fertilization treatments are protected and adoptions are more affordable.

Last year, Scott said he would sign Florida’s six-week abortion ban if he were governor. He had also cosponsored Sen. Lindsey Graham’s bill in 2020 banning all abortions after 20 weeks, which didn’t succeed in a Senate vote.
