Florida Governor DeSantis Signs $466K Law to Create Online Pregnancy Resource Hub Amid Abortion Concerns

May 20, 2024, 07:41 PM

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a new law mandating the creation of an online hub for pregnancy and parenting resources. The law, sponsored by Representative Berny Jacques and Senator Erin Grall, requires the Florida health agency to set up the website, which will cost taxpayers more than $466,000. The hub will provide information on pregnancy, parenting, adoption, and other related topics. While the initiative aims to support expecting parents, Democrats have raised concerns about its implications for abortion access in the state. Additionally, TIME magazine has claimed that the new law makes it difficult for men to get abortions.
