made a decision on abortion.

When Roe was overturned, the current 15 week ban was still being litigated in the trial court.

The Court currently has 3 DeSantis appointees. The state is trying to fast track the 15 week ban because they seems to really think the Florida Supreme Court will side with them. From all the filings and briefs I’ve read, the state doesn’t even seem to be trying that hard to win at the trial and appellate level. That would be not only a major misread of the Court, but it would be pure incompetence, if the Court recently struck down a 6 week ban post-Dobbs. They seem to think those 3 DeSantis appointees will make all the difference.
