    Federal judge blocks Mississippi ‘heartbeat’ abortion law

    Federal judge blocks Mississippi ‘heartbeat’ abortion law

    By Louis Casiano | Fox News
    Published 2 hours ago

    A federal judge on Friday temporarily blocked Mississippi from moving ahead with a so-called "heartbeat" abortion law that bans the procedure after a cardiac activity is first detected, which occurs at around six weeks of pregnancy.

    The ruling by U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves stops the order from taking effect July 1.

    "Here we go again," Reeves wrote. "Mississippi has passed another law banning abortions prior to viability."

    Reeves also struck down a 2018 Mississippi law that banned abortion at 15 weeks. The state is appealing that ruling.

    "It sure smacks of defiance to this court," he said of lawmakers passing another ban after he struck down the earlier one.

    Attorneys for the state’s only abortion clinic – the Jackson Women's Health Organization -- argued Tuesday that the newest law would eliminate all abortions because most women don't yet know they are pregnant when a fetal heartbeat is first discovered. The state said the law only limits when abortions can be performed.

    Exemptions will be made if a woman's health is at risk.

    Reeves wrote Friday that the new measure "prevents a woman's free choice, which is central to personal dignity and autonomy. This injury outweighs any interest the State might have in banning abortions after the detection of a fetal heartbeat."

    Mississippi’s Republican Gov Phil Bryant expressed disappointment after Friday's ruling.

    "As governor, I've pledged to do all I can to protect life," Bryant said. "Time and time again the Legislature and I have done just that."

    Lawmakers in several states have recently passed or advanced restrictive abortion measures in light of a conservative-majority Supreme Court Abortion opponents are hoping to mount legal challenges to Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide.

    Alabama recently passed a law its own law that makes it a felony to perform an abortion at any stage of a pregnancy. Other states – Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi and Ohio -- have approved their own abortion measures. Missouri recently approved a bill to ban abortion at eight weeks.

    All the bans are expected to face legal challenges. Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit Friday challenging the Alabama measure.

    A federal judge in March issued a preliminary injunction on the Kentucky ban.

    Under Mississippi’s abortion ban, doctors who perform the procedure could have their medical licenses revoked.

    Free and low cost vasectomies and tubal ligations. Needs to be a campaign and make it happen.

    Stop fighting about abortion and solve the problem!

    Make it easy to get as a Dental Appointment with no questions asked.

    If you do not want children, do not want to pay for them out of YOUR paycheck, do not want to be in their lives...go get it done!

    End breed and feed program. The taxpayers are NOT their baby daddy and we are sick of being forced to pay for this for generations.

    We need Global Population Control as it is. We need to stop importing 3rd world, uneducated, overbreeding, parasites into our country. It is expensive to live here and they cannot afford it.

    We do not need more mouths to feed! We do not need to ramp up American births! Quit shoving your "low birth rate" GARBAGE agenda down our throats to import the 3rd world that WE pay for. That is why we are not having children! Taxed to death, we are the dumping ground and ATM machine for the entire world. Cut is all off and we would have more children. We are not going to have a large family and live in poverty in a dump because OUR government rapes our paychecks to pay for foreigners and their countries!

    Everything is going to automation. We want Quality of Life...not Quantity of hordes people, who are foreigners, who have no means to support themselves.

    Government needs to stay out of reproduction issues and leave that up to the female individual. Also, pre-natal care, birthing and all of that expense should be removed from Medicaid services.

    If people want kids...they can pay 100% of the costs including the medical care costs and daycare.

    It is outrages to expect taxpayers to go to work every day, TAKE money our of OUR paychecks, to PAY for someone else's romp in the sack!

    It is disgusting. Pay for your own choices in life and what you do in the bedroom or keep your pants zipped!

    WHY THE HELL ARE WE FUNDING PEOPLE TO HAVE SEX AND THEN WE ARE FORCED TO PAY FOR THEIR OFFSPRING!

    I DO NOT WANT TO PAY FOR IT!

    YOU HAD THEM … YOU PAY FOR THEM!
