On Abortion: Lets abortion bill become law, recognizes fundamental right

Bill H.57 would "recognize as a fundamental right the freedom of reproductive choice" and "prohibit public entities from interfering with or restricting the right of an individual to terminate the individual's pregnancy." Scott's communications director said that he will not veto it. "The Governor is and has been pro-choice and believes in a woman's right to choose, so he has ruled out vetoing the bill -- it will become law," she wrote in an email.

On Principles & Values: First Republican governor to support impeachment probe

Scott said he supports an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, making him the first GOP governor to do so and marking a notable departure from the largely party-line Republican response to a mounting Ukraine controversy. "I support getting the facts in that inquiry that's happening today," Scott told CNN affiliate WCAX. "So I think this is, these are serious allegations we need to -- we need to make sure that we do the fact finding and figure out what exactly did happen."
