Ron DeSantis (R) on Thursday signed legislation to protect unborn babies in the Sunshine State, banning abortions after 15 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking from\u00a0Nacion de Fe in Kissimmee, Florida, the governor made it clear that they are committed to \u201cdefend those that can\u2019t defend themselves.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWe are here to protect life,\u201d DeSantis declared, announcing his intention to sign <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myfloridahouse.gov\/Sections\/Bills\/billsdetail.aspx?BillId=76552#:~:text=Reducing%20Fetal%20and%20Infant%20Mortality%3A%20Revises%20purpose%20%26%20requirements%20for%20Comprehensive,from%20performing%20abortion%20if%20gestational\">HB 5<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a time where these babies have beating hearts. They can move, they can taste they can see they can feel pain, they can suck their thumbs and they have brain waves,\u201d DeSantis said, noting that this move represents\u00a0\u201cthe most significant protections for life that have been enacted in this state in a generation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p><span class=\"video-src-attr\">Governor Ron DeSantis \/ Facebook<\/span><\/p>\n<p>He briefly spoke of the radical views of the far-left, who are attempting to normalize abortion even up to nine months:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>And if you look what\u2019s going on in certain segments of our society, particularly amongst people who are affiliated with the far left of our political spectrum, of course, that\u2019s overrepresented in places like Hollywood, in the media and obviously in one of our major political parties, but they are now taking the position that babies can be aborted up to the ninth month. Literally, you can go back, for you parents, and those are some of the most significant experiences of my life to hold your child for the very first time. What they would say is parent holding that child, if you just go back a day or two, then you would have been able to snuff the child out entirely?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThat is just fundamentally wrong. That is infanticide, and that has no place,\u201d DeSantis said, noting that the mentality has \u201creally shocked the conscience in our society\u201d and mentioning the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/04\/07\/left-wing-pro-life-activists-discover-115-aborted-babies-in-dc-congress-demands-investigation\/\">horrifying story<\/a> of pro-life activists discovering the remains of 115 aborted babies in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey found all these remains of babies and they found five who were basically infants premature. They would have been but they would have been able to survive, you know, outside the womb. And yet Washington D.C. is treating that just like we would treat the trash from our lunch or something like that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really horrifying to see that that could go on in our country, but particularly in our nation\u2019s capital, and so that is callous. That is wrong,\u201d DeSantis continued, making it clear that \u201cwe will not let that happen in the state of Florida.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_20657354\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.breitbart.com\/media\/2022\/04\/GettyImages-1237886851.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-20657354\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/GettyImages-1237886851-1024x682-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"990\" height=\"659\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Pro-life activists march during the 49th annual March for Life, on January 21, 2022, in Washington, DC.
