BREAKING: Federal judge temporarily blocks Mississippi law that bans most abortions once a fetal heartbeat is detected.
Amanda Furdge of Jackson and a mother of three boys, relates her experience seeking an abortion in the state, as she addresses abortion rights advocates at the Capitol in Jackson, Miss., during a rally to voice their opposition to state legislatures passing abortion bans that prohibit most abortions once a fetal heartbeat can be detected, Tuesday, May 21, 2019. The rally in Jackson was one of many around the country to protest abortion restrictions that states are enacting.
His new order stops the law from taking effect July 1. Reeves is the same judge who struck down a 2018 Mississippi law to ban abortion at 15 weeks. In an indication of which way he is leaning on the request to block the new law with the earlier ban, Reeves asked attorneys Tuesday: “Doesn’t it boil down to: Six is less than 15?”
