Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has signaled he supports the bill and will sign it. If he does, the new law would go into effect in July.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe governor supports pro-life legislation and is not responding to outcry from pro-abortion activists,\u201d Pushaw <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/desperate-dems-spent-hours-trying-to-stop-a-florida-pro-life-bill-they-just-failed\">told The Daily Wire on Thursday<\/a>, before the bill had passed the state senate. \u201cThe bottom line is that they\u2019re demanding abortion after 15 weeks, which is when the fetus can already feel pain and is near viability; babies born as early as 20 weeks have survived.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bill permits exceptions when the mother\u2019s life is at risk or in danger of \u201cirreversible physical impairment,\u201d or if the unborn baby has a fetal abnormality, such as Down Syndrome.<\/p>\n<p>It does not offer exceptions for rape.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement to The Daily Wire, the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List thanked the Florida legislature for working hard to \u201cpass commonsense limits on late abortions,\u201d singling out Republican state Sen. Kelli Stargel and Rep. Erin Grall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re excited this legislation is on its way to Governor DeSantis,\u201d said SBA List State Policy Director Sue Liebel. \u201cAt a time when pro-abortion extremists in Washington are pushing a deeply unpopular agenda of abortion on demand until the moment of birth, states like Florida are fighting back to assert the will of the people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis humane legislation would save more than 3,000 lives a year in Florida by limiting abortion at a point when science shows unborn babies can feel pain,\u201d she continued. \u201cFloridians of all stripes agree this would be a significant step forward for the Sunshine State. We appreciate Gov. DeSantis\u2019 strong stand for women and children and greatly look forward to seeing him sign this bill into law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>White House Gender Policy Council Director Jennifer Klein, White House Intergovernmental Affairs Director Julie Chavez Rodriguez, and Deputy White House counsel Danielle Conley hosted a roundtable discussion with abortion advocates Thursday as the bill passed the senate.<\/p>\n<p>According to a White House press release, Florida abortion supporters shared their efforts to oppose the abortion legislation and senior administration officials stressed their support for abortion and \u201cthe larger trend of state laws restricting access\u201d to abortion across the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo date,\u201d the White House press release said, \u201cover 265 bills restricting access to abortion have been filed during the 2022 legislative session.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bill has filled Florida\u2019s abortion supporters with anxiety as they await a decision in the Supreme Court case <em>Dobbs vs. Jackson<\/em> <em>Women\u2019s Health Organization<\/em>, a case involving a 2018 Mississippi law banning abortions after 15 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The case, which addresses whether bans on abortion before fetal viability are constitutional, may become the most pivotal abortion case in recent history, as it directly challenges the Supreme Court\u2019s monumental <em>Roe v.
