Judge Blocks 3 Arkansas State Abortion Laws


us court worthy christian news

(Worthy News) – A ban on the enforcement of three new state laws that restrict abortion, including one that was expected to shut down the sole clinic providing surgical abortions in Arkansas, was extended indefinitely Tuesday by a federal judge.

Fourteen days earlier, U.S. District Judge Kristine Baker temporarily blocked the laws from being enacted on the eve of their effective date. But the temporary restraining order was set to expire at 11:45 p.m. Tuesday in the absence of the preliminary injunction Baker signed at 5 p.m.

The laws affected by the injunction are Act 493 of 2019, which bans abortions at 18 weeks of pregnancy; Act 619 of 2019, which prohibits abortions based solely on the likelihood of fetal Down syndrome; and Act 700 of 2019, which requires all abortion providers in Arkansas to be board-certified or board-eligible in obstetrics and gynecology.
