Florida's 6-week abortion ban disproportionately affects women of color.

Advocates for reproductive rights in Florida are concerned that the state's upcoming six-week abortion ban will disproportionately affect Latina and Black women, who already face higher risks of unintended pregnancy and worse economic and mental health outcomes. The law, which was signed by Governor Ron DeSantis on Thursday, will only take effect if the state's current 15-week ban is upheld in an ongoing legal challenge. The new law includes exceptions for cases where the woman's life is at risk or in cases of rape or incest, but advocates worry that these exceptions may not be sufficient.
