Ron DeSantis’s administration has appeared to threaten a local TV station with legal action for airing an abortion rights campaign ad.
The ad in question is the same one that aired in Florida during the vice presidential debate between Tim Walz and JD Vance. It features a woman named Caroline who needed to have an abortion and cancer treatments after a brain tumor diagnosis in 2022.
Such a difficult situation would have been complicated by Florida’s six-week abortion ban today.
“The doctors knew that if I did not end my pregnancy, I would lose my baby, I would lose my life, and my daughter would lose her mom,” the woman says. “Florida has now banned abortion … even in cases like mine. Amendment 4 is gonna protect women like me.”
