Holly Gregory (Spectrum News 13): Senator, I have to pivot to the issue of abortion because the Hill reported yesterday that you would back a 15-week abortion ban, but not the six-week that’s about to go into effect in Florida. Didn’t you previously say that you would have signed the six-week ban if you were governor? And what exactly is your position on abortion?
Rick Scott: Sure. Well, as governor, I was governor for eight years. I signed every abortion, you know, pro-life bill. You know, I signed every pro-life bill that came in front of me. And if I was the sitting governor and the six-week abortion ban came in front of me, I would sign it. I’ve always said I would sign it.
