NEW: A six-week abortion ban that replaces Florida's 15-week ban has been signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis, after the state House of Representatives passed the bill earlier in the day.
There are four conditions in which physicians can provide abortions under the ban.
If two physicians are not available, one physician would have to certify in writing that there is a medical necessity for the legitimate emergency medical procedure to save the pregnant woman's life or avert irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function and certify another physician is not available for consultation, the law states.
Physicians will be required to report incidents of rape or incest in minors to the central abuse hotline, according to the law.Anyone who performs or actively participates in an abortion outside these rules commits a felony of the third degree. If the abortion results in the death of the woman, the crime becomes a second-degree felony.
The ban would go into effect if the Florida Supreme Court upholds the 15-week ban, which is being challenged by the Center for Reproductive Rights and other groups.
