DeSantis can get anything he wants from the Florida Legislature, but he isn’t saying anything specific about new abortion restrictions. Why?
Because he wants to maintain some degree of plausible deniability with both the base and moderate suburban women, of course. Whatever the Legislature does, he will tell one group he is responsible, and the other that he isn’t. Brilliant, right?
It won’t work. The pro-life activists in particular aren’t interested in anything that looks like a compromise. He’s going to be blamed by someone for the new legislation regardless of how it turns out.
