“This Court follows the commands of the Supreme Court and the dictates of the United States Constitution, rather than the disingenuous calculations of the Mississippi Legislature,” U.S. District Judge Carlton W. Reeves wrote.

HB 1510 , known as the Mississippi Gestational Act, was enacted in March and bans abortion at 15 weeks, with a narrow exception for medical emergencies threatening the pregnant person or if there is a “severe” fetal anomaly. The measure had been temporarily blocked since March after advocates sued. Tuesday’s order makes that March ruling permanent.
As a result of Tuesday’s decision, a nearly identical 15-week ban passed by Republican lawmakers in Louisiana will not go into effect. That law’s effective date depended on the outcome of the lawsuit challenging Mississippi’s 15-week ban.
I find it interesting that all these draconian abortion laws keep getting thrown out and these stupid states keep pushing them.

Somehow, I'm not surprised such unconstitutional laws were from Mississippi and Louisiana. It seems they, and a few other states, constantly try to limit or deny women their rights. Still, it's good to see such laws struck down, as they should be.
And the republican war on women continues.
I thought it was the Democrats' War on Babies? The causulty count is in the millions...
Anyone killing babies deserves the harshest punishment possible, hopefully the police are doing their best to catch these evil people
If you know someone killing babies, call 911. Not your body, not your business.
Really? That sounds like something that would be heavily focused on in the news. Perhaps you can cite a news story about this so called "war?"
It's mainly black and brown babies, so the plan worked.
Is anyone being forced to have abortions against their will?
The fake in that comment is substantial
I guess that's why he's not bothering to substantiate his assertion with any valid sources or facts.
Just to their bit to keep lawyers employed and off the streets.
Excellent use of taxpayer money.
