US judge: Mississippi 15-week abortion ban unconstitutional
EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS | 20 NOV 2018JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A federal judge on Tuesday struck down a Mississippi law that bans most abortions after 15 weeks, one of the most restrictive in the United States.
U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves ruled that the law “unequivocally†violates women’s constitutional rights.
“The record is clear: States may not ban abortions prior to viability,†Reeves said, citing Supreme Court rulings.
The only abortion clinic in Mississippi sued when Republican Gov. Phil Bryant signed the law March 19, and Reeves issued a temporary restraining order the next day to keep the state from enforcing the law.

The one thing absent from the judge's ruling was any specific mention of how the Constitution was violated. Regardless of what side you are on, this is the most biased, opinionated, and un-legal decision I have ever seen. Even Dred Scott wasn't this bad. The judge goes on to lecture about Medicaid expansion, Obamacare, and infant mortality. If this judge was worried about Mississippi using this case as a tool to overturn Roe, his outspoken bias has now made it possible.
