Florida Republican gubernatorial primary candidate James Fishback, who has called abortion “a holocaust<\/a>,” wants to close every abortion clinic throughout the Sunshine State.<\/p>\n

“Ron DeSantis<\/a> is the most pro-life Governor in America, and I intend to build on his incredible work. As Governor, I will shut down the 53 abortion clinics that remain in Florida and replace every single one with a crisis pregnancy center,” Fishback told Fox News Digital in a statement on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“These centers will offer free ultrasounds, baby food, diapers, and counseling, and even prenatal and postpartum care. Abortion<\/a> is never the answer. Every expecting mom in Florida deserves real support, and as Governor, I will make sure she gets it,” he added.<\/p>\n

Last week in a post<\/a> on X, Fishback asserted, “100% of abortions are murder. And as Governor, I’ll treat them as such.”<\/p>\n
