Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office said he supports the attorney general’s petition to reinstate a law prohibiting government funds from going to Planned Parenthood.
“The Office of Governor Ron DeSantis is fully behind this action from the Attorney General and we support this move to fully defund Planned Parenthood from any taxpayer support,” the Executive Office of the Governor said.
Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody petitioned a federal court to allow a 2016 Florida law to go into effect following the U.S. Supreme’s Court ruling that affected Roe v. Wade.
The 2016 law, HB 1411, ensured Florida’s state funds would not go to Planned Parenthood, which provides abortions and other forms of healthcare for women.
