JACKSON, Miss. (AP) -- A federal judge on Sunday temporarily blocked enforcement of a Mississippi law that could shut down the only abortion clinic in the state.
U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan in Jackson issued a temporary restraining order the day the new law took effect.
He set a July 11 hearing to determine whether to block the law for a longer time.
"Though the debate over abortion continues, there exists legal precedent the court must follow," Jordan wrote.
The law requires anyone performing abortions at the state's only clinic to be an OB-GYN with privileges to admit patients to a local hospital. Such privileges can be difficult to obtain, and the clinic contends the mandate is designed to put it out of business. A clinic spokeswoman, Betty Thompson, has said the two physicians who do abortions there are OB-GYNs who travel from other states.

Mississippi ping
Getting sick of the federal government yet?
Once again, the ‘culture of death’ finds a way to pull a fast one.
So basically the law states that in order for a doctor to do a clinical procedure they need staff privelages at a hospital? I don’t see the problem with that.

At some point in the near future, the people are going to find a way to either ignore or overturn what has fast been becoming progressive law (both local and Federal).
When that happens, the future of America will blossom. It will be a time for ordinary citizens to finally express their viewpoints.
Until then, we are supposed to hang on and hope - I guess!
I really think it’s time to rethink our “federal” system.
To top it off, he’s a “W” appointee:

Daniel Jordan is an Article III federal judge for the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi. He joined the court in 2006 after being nominated by President George W. Bush.
“constitutional right to abortion” /s bump.
I am sitting here writing this post.
Let this sink in—When my folks were born, there was no income tax.
People made food to take to hospitals for someone they knew there to eat. Going to the hospital was something to be avoided at all costs.
When young, our family physician made house calls. Once, he came to our home on Christmas Eve. We were all sick with something. I cooked for everyone, even as a child.
Just let these thoughts sink in, you 4 or 5 people who read this. I have experienced them...and 12 loaves of bread for a dollar, penny candy, and sleeping on the living room floor as a family, on hot nights, with door and window screens all that kept the bugs out—without fear.
I don’t know why I can never find a freakin’ judge on Sunday when I need one.
Here’s to being one of the 4 or 5. Good post!

Only for doctors whose primary practice is killing people instead of saving their lives.
I swear I only hit the post once!
Murderous judge at his favorite activity....
I’m SHOCKED! SHOCKED, I tell you! /s
Let him enforce it.
I’m #2, and I like your post as well. But I’m only going to say it once.
We still leave our doors and windows open on cool nights. We do have cental air, though, and I get excited when I find bread at 2/$5.
Better times are ahead, but we’ll never stuff the federal genie back into the bottle.
What ‘legal precedent’?
Says who?
The government that allows abortion is the government that is no longer legitimate.
Way to go, “judge”.
Oh yes, all that and much, much more. one of 4 or 5.
Abortion should be illegal
Abortion should be illegal
Or for docs that have serious disciplinary issues on their records
Or for docs that have serious disciplinary issues on their records
The hearing July 11th, how many days before decision, even if the law is upheld how many more deaths?
Further daily confirmation that the game is rigged. We’re playing the political equivalent of three card monte.
America was once a safe, productive, family and church oriented country, and America was good. Today, you're lucky if you're allowed to be born. If you are lucky enough to be born, you have to spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder.
Right now, the government has regulations on everything..... but our individual bodies, and they're even trying to take that away from us. It's the only truly free thing we have left. After that, they control it all, and they're doing a horrible job of managing it.
The American people did better on their own.
Clearly those who advocate the murder of the most innocent among us have a list of judges they can rely upon to stay a court order or halt the implementation of a law that restricts infanticide.
I find it curious that the few pieces of legislation that have been passed that support the sanctity of life are stifled before the ink is dry on the signed law. If a law is passed that restricts pro-life activity or promotes abortion, it is enacted immediately.
Lifetime tenure for Federal and Supreme Court judges places all too much power in the hands of political partisans.
EODGUY
We all know what “temporary” means to a federal judge.
Mississippi has been sick of Washington sinse the 1850’s.
As for this particular act, the federal judge needs to mind his own business. What Mississippians do in Mississippi is none of Washington’s business. The State of Mississippi gains its authority directly from the People of Mississippi in their Constitution not Washington D.C.
Going to need to be more picky in your words there, Under the Federal Constitution, Washington does not have illegitimate say one way or the other on the matter of “abortion” just like its counter part murder, that is a matter concerning the domestic lives of the people of each State.
This is why The Federal judge has no illegitimate business saying one thing or the other about the Mississippi act. This is a matter for Mississippians and their Constitution, and I trust the vast majority of them have no problem what so ever.
My point is wider.
No government, on either state, local, federal or intergalactic level can allow abortion, or any other form of murder, and itself stay legitimate, regardless of how various citizens vote and what the Constitution says, with all respect for the latter.
“My point is wider.

Then I am afraid I must disagree, I define the legitimacy of a government upon the consent it has of those it governs.
Not every government has the consent to prohibit killing(including but not limited to abortion). You might find such a government rather odd, but I’m sure to the people living under it by in large it is acceptable.
Any State of theses United states may by its people be either authorized to prohibit killing or permit to any variable extent their values might deem proper.
A country of fools and murderers that agreed to a law that allows murder may have adhered to the due process for arriving at such law, and they may think their legislation is as you call it “acceptable”, but the law is still not legitimate in absolute terms of justice and therefore neither is their government.
Truth in general does not depend on the number of people finding falsehood acceptable. 2+2 is still 4, abortion is still murder, murder is still an unjust act, etc.
The most recent precedent at the Supreme Court in John "The Taxman" Roberts v The American People, is to simply change it to whatever floats your boat and ban abortion!
Go for it Jordan!
Sad news, but at least it is temporary, as of now.
Please update us as news comes in.
I don't go as far back as you, but far enough.
My mother would drag my brother and me every year to the doctor and his wife-nurse office down the street for the usual kid shots, polio, etc. They lived upstairs, the office was at street level.
No government involvement. He charged no more than what the people of the neighborhood could pay.
Democrats soil institutions.
“

I will not dispute your defintion of murder nor do I need to.
No positive act can be regarded as essential for the legitimacy of any government. Just because you think such things essential in your mind for good government does not mean others might find them either essentially or unnecessary. You may regard them uncivilized but not any government not your own illegitimate.
Your reply speaks to my possible inability to persuade the fools and murderers, but not to the objective illegitimacy of their putative government.
