The bill would give the state the most restrictive abortion law in America
Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant signed into law on March 19 the most restrictive state abortion bill in the nation because it bans abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
The owner of the state’s only abortion clinic, Jackson Women’s Health Organization, filed suit immediately after Bryant signed the bill, claiming it is unconstitutional.
At a morning hearing March 20, a federal judge blocked the law with a temporary restraining order, in effect for 10 days. The state and the clinic must now provide “expedited briefings” to the court while it considers issuing a preliminary injunction.
“We Catholic bishops of Mississippi wish to reaffirm the sacredness of human life from conception until natural death,” said Bishop Joseph Kopacz of Jackson and Bishop Louis Kihneman of Biloxi. “With Pope St. John Paul II, we recognize abortion as ‘a most serious wound inflicted on society and its culture by the very people who ought to be society’s promoters and defenders.'”
The bishops issued their joint statement after the Mississippi House passed the measure 75-34 in February. The state Senate passed H.B. 1510 March 6 in a 35-14 vote.
In commending the state’s lawmakers, Bishops Kopacz and Kihneman also criticised lawmakers in Congress who let the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act fail in the House of Representatives.

One day the judge will prostrate himself before The Judge.
What, actually, is “constitutional” about abortion. There is no specified right that any rational person can point to, anywhere in the Constitution, that requires that abortions must be carried out on a fetus which has reached the stage of being able to feel pain, and certainly not when the fetus has reached the level at which it is viable outside the womb.
If the mother cannot muster the necessary resolve to terminate the pregnancy at a stage before the 15th week, then the option has disappeared. Only extraordinary circumstances could be applied, and convenience to the mother is not one of those “extraordinary circumstances”.
Only the Supreme Court has Authority under our Constitution over an issue involving a “State”, an inferior court created and controlled by congress has no more authority than the meter maid. Tell him to GO POUND SAND!
Ever notice that whenever liberals have no argument against something, they claim it’s “unconstitutional”???
So a Baal Judge blocked it, so he can play a part on more children being sacrificed to the god of Baal
Illegally take our guns - judges can’t stop that...
Ignore your state constitution with Prop 8 - sure the judges say that’s all legal and above board.
Try to ban late abortions with a legitimately crafted law - judges suddenly can not only block a law they can write their own.
Another commie, baby killing “judge”. One of Obonzo’s morons.
“Hanging judge” has more than one meaning.
Ever notice that leftists always manage to get a Feral Govenment™ Judge to step in whenever they want to ?
Just pass a total ban, ignore the fed judges, dare the judge to arrest the gov, leg, etc. or as we said in the sixties ‘stick it to the man!’
Very similar to genocide.
The innocent should not be killed to satisfy the whims of the selfish and wicked.
Phil Bryant is trying to ramrod a GOP liberal (and former Democrat) into the Cochran Senate slot. Chris McDaniel can tell us all we need to know about Mr. Bryant.
is arbitray and capricious reprive all that stops them from "choosing" who is granted basic human rights ?
call in the national Guard ?
maybe ATF or the NSA can wage battle in the streets with the state police to enforce the Judges edict
That’s actually one of the biggest results that’s going to come from Trump’s election: a lot of Constutionalist judges already have been quietly appointed to the federal bench under President Trump. MAGA!
The baby/life, therefore an American by God and American Constitution right, denied. A woman chooses to kill this life so the judge says that is HER constitutional RIGHT. Anyone other than the mother is charged with murder if a baby in the womb is killed intentionally.
That’s Federal judge-president Reeves to you, peasant.
Yup
