On CBS Face the Nation on April 30, 2023, shortly after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a six-week abortion ban, Mace said:
"Signing a six-week ban that puts women who are victims of rape and girls are victims of incest in a hard spot isn't the way to change hearts and minds. It's not compassionate."
Mace also described a 15-to-20 week ban with rape, incest, and life-of-mother exceptions as the "sweet spot," and warned that strict bans without exceptions put DeSantis "in a very difficult position for a general election."
