It's official all right, the state of Arkansas now has the most restrictive abortion law- allowing abortions until only the 12th week of pregnancy. This policy goes into effect in 90 days and will hopefully be ruled as unconstitutional as the federal law allows abortions into the 24th week or until the fetus is viable outside of the womb.
Governor Mike Bebe vetoed the law citing its blatant unconstitutionality but his veto was overridden in the states house.
