The Daily Mail – A federal judge on Tuesday struck down a Mississippi law that bans most abortions after 15 weeks, one of the most restrictive in the United States. U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves ruled that the law ‘unequivocally’ violates women’s constitutional rights.
Reeves was appointed to the bench of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi by President Barack Obama in 2010. ‘The record is clear: States may not ban abortions prior to viability,’ Reeves said, citing Supreme Court rulings.
