Federal judge strikes down restrictive abortion law
A federal judge has struck down a Mississippi abortion law that is one of the most restrictive in the United States.
The Mississippi law bans most abortions after 15 weeks. U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves ruled today that it ‘unequivocally’ violates women’s constitutional rights.
The only abortion clinic in Mississippi sued when Republican Governor Phil Bryant signed the law March 19th and Reeves issued a temporary restraining order the next day to keep the state from enforcing the law.
