Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday signed into law a bill that bans all abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, Axios' Oriana Gonzalez reports.

Driving the news: The legislation includes no exceptions for rape or incest and only allows abortions past 15 weeks in cases of a medical emergency or if there's a "fatal fetal abnormality."

• Abortions must also be reported to the state, along with information on why the procedure was provided.
• The law is set to take effect on July 1.

Context: In Florida, it is currently legal to get an abortion up to the 24th week of pregnancy.

ICYMI: A Leon County judge approved a 24-hour waiting period for abortions in Florida earlier this week after a seven-year court battle.

What he's saying: "To be able to sign the bill here today is really, really meaningful," DeSantis said at the signing at ​​Kissimmee church Nacion de Fe. "It's a statement to our values that every life is important."

What we're watching: Alexandra Mandado, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of South, East and North Florida, told Axios that Planned Parenthood is "exploring every option to stop this unconstitutional ban from being implemented."

When the Tampa Daily Times hit newsstands the afternoon of April 15, 1912 — 110 years ago — its front page included a big mistake.

Flashback: The Times reported that the Titanic, "greatest steamship afloat," was being towed toward Halifax and her passengers had been transferred to another boat "without accident."

• Newspapers across the country issued similar incorrect reports in the days after the behemoth settled 2.5 miles deep in the Atlantic.

Why it matters: At the center of the mess was a new piece of technology and the globetrotting Italian who invented it, then helped suppress the news of one of the world's most memorable disasters.

• This part wasn't in the movie, but it's fascinating in a world where wealthy men still try to control communications platforms.

Catch up quick: Before it sank, the Titanic was communicating with shore and other vessels using Guglielmo Marconi's new wireless telegraph, even receiving news updates about industrial unrest on the railways and a high-profile murder in France.

Yes, but: After initial dispatches that the ship was sinking and lifeboats were being deployed, all comms fell silent.

Tiny Citrus County up north has received an unprecedented 45 applications to fill five open seats on the nine-member library advisory board.

• That's two score and five people who have volunteered their time to meet on the fourth Tuesday of every other month to do things like review reading materials and revise library policy.

What's happening: Library Services director Eric Head told the Citrus County Chronicle the increased interest is due to LGBTQ Pride Month displays at two county branches last year, which several residents criticized.

• The Chronicle reports that the man leading the charge against the displays encouraged county commissioners to ignore candidates' lack of academic bonafides when making selections.
