A federal appeals court on Friday struck down an Idaho law banning abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, ruling the law unconstitutional.
The ruling comes a few weeks after the U.S. House passed legislation that would ban abortions after 20 weeks, sending it to the Senate.

Why does the Judge get to overrule this?
We had the same problem with 187 in California.
9th Circus Court of Appeals strikes again.
Time for States to tell these federal “judges” where to stuff it - make them come in with force to exert their illegal and immoral will on the People.....
Asked for a comment on this ruling, Governor B*tch Otter curled up into a fetal position and crawled under his desk.
The Tyranny of the Black Robes.
9th Circuit, nothing rational comes out of there.
I forget where the constitution addressed this and gay marriage. How do they sleep at night?
Insane.
It’s futile to ask “Where do they find a Constitutional justification for this?” because the answer is “Wherever they want to.” I do not know if the state intends to appeal to the Supremes or if the latter will even hear it.
Thomas Jefferson 1819
Wiser generations before us knew of these pitfalls. The U.S. Constitution has stood in the way of men's corrupt ambitions. Both tyrants and degenerates have always sought to twist the Constitution into any form they deemed to be beneficial.
....and where in the U.S. Constitution does it confront that?
and we are currently plentiful in both tyrants and degenerates. I guess obummer never read up on Jefferson. I thought he was some kind of scholar?
I don’t know exactly what the judges said, but patriots need to exercise their voting muscle to require that judges start referencing specific clauses, sections and articles in the Constitution to justify their decisions instead of pulling the wool over the eyes of low-information citizens with the vague, PC terms “constitutional” and “unconstitutional.”
Regarding the so-called “constitutional” right to have an abortion, the reality is that pro-abortion activist justices got away with legislating from the bench the so-called “right” to have an abortion. They got away with doing so because they know that low-information citizens don’t understand the significance of constitutionally enumerated rights. And the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect abortion as a right.
Unconstitutional?? Why then has “Of The People, By The People and For The People” not been specifically ruled unconstitutional? Per the ruling of liberal US courts, so much for preserving the sanctity of human life.
There needs to be a policing judicial oversight authority for when Judges don’t follow law and just rule based on how they feel or politically feel.
Especially an issue when voters pass stuff and one Judge says a no that affects the daily life of all.
