Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed the Heartbeat Protection Act to "support life and family," but critics warn that it demands "proof" of rape and incest for abortions. The bill, which outlaws abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, has exemptions for victims of rape and incest, but survivors must provide medical records, police reports, or court-issued restraining orders to qualify. Critics called the bill "dangerous" and warned that it would impact millions of women in Florida and the South.
