does, the procedure will be banned now in virtually the entire southeast region of the country, and given that this has been a huge republican priority for decades, one would expect that desantis would be more vocal about touting his legislative success. and yet, 12 hours after he signed the bill in a private late night ceremony, he gave a speech at liberty university and this was as close as he came to mentioning it. we have elevated the importance of family and promoted a culture of life. cnn s even mukendi is joining the conversation here at the table. so this move by desantis should have been if you are a anti abortion republican, maybe a crowning achievement for him virtually banning abortion in the state of florida. but he doesn t want to talk about it. and this is why it could be problematic. take a look at this headline from of all places, people magazine on the newsstand where people get their gossip.
make a prediction right here and now, there will be never b a president elected wh promises to ban abortion nationwide, ever well, you invoked his name, so let s talk about him. and nbc news colleague ali vitale had a remarkabl exchange today on abortion access was republican senato tim scott, who is considerin running for president. it s worth seeing a good bit o this let s watch. i am proudly under-percen pro-life i am so thankful that i had an opportunity to look for th three supreme court justices that overturned roe v. wade. i celebrate that so every time a state a adop decision states have the ability to have the most conservative bills that they can get passed in th legislature, i support the culture of life. without question but is six weeks the righ mile marker? the people have decided tha they re elected leaders have the opportunity to do so
officers to kill people. if he is so committed to the culture of life, then there ar plenty of ways to actually display that one of those ways is not supporting a ban on abortion whether it s six weeks, weathe nationally, whether it s the overturning of roe v. wade because the truth of the matte is, this has not ever been a pro-life movement. this has been a movement about ensuring that certain people d not have autonomy over our bodies we should be clear to bles these minutes. 64% of americans are in suppor of access to abortion. this pill, mifepristone, is 99 effective. it is safer than viagra, despite what some of these doctors who brought suit forward have to say. and despite what he or other might think, bodily autonomy i actually not up for debate so i m actually glad to hear that he is in support of the culture of life. i really want him to put his policy where his mouth is.
chance for him to really test out any enthusiasm. what enthusiasm there might be for his brand of leadership. should he jump into the race later this year, and i did talk to some people who were in the crowd just to kind of take their temperature and one gentleman. i talked to said that he was very impressed with the list of deliverables desantis had that that was impactful for him to hear about the things that he had promised to do. and then things that he had accomplished last night. the governor signed florida s new six week abortion ban into law today spoke the conservative evangelical liberty university in virginia. he didn t make mention of it during his speech, and he mentioned it tonight in new hampshire. right no, he did not mention it tonight, and that is worth noting, because, as i said, he did go through so many specific achievements that he had there. but we did not hear him mention that specifically at all at the event tonight, and as you mentioned anderson, he was at lib
