Today a judge blocked enforcement of a Law that put Mississippi on the path to becoming the only state in the country without an abortion clinic. The law, which required any physician doing abortions at the clinic to be an OB-GYN with privileges to admit patients to a local hospital. The two doctors who currently preform the abortions have requested permission at the local hospital but that has not been granted.
"The opponents of reproductive rights in the Mississippi legislature have made no secret of their intent to make legal abortion virtually disappear in the state of Mississippi", Says Nancy Northup CEO of the Center for Reproductive rights based in New York City."
The temporary restraining order was based on evidence that the act is solely about eliminating abortion in Mississippi.
