Judge Blocks Pre-Roe Abortion Ban in West Virginia

Mimi Nguyen Ly  |  July 19, 2022

A West Virginia judge on July 18 temporarily blocked the state’s pre-Roe abortion ban from taking effect.

The preliminary injunction issued by Kanawha County Circuit Judge Tera Salango came in a lawsuit filed in June on behalf of Women’s Health Center of West Virginia, the state’s only abortion clinic.

The clinic had suspended abortions and consultations out of fear of prosecution under the state’s 150-year-old abortion ban, after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on June 24. The lawsuit challenges the law, seeking to block it from ever taking effect.  .  .

Not sure how they expect to block a law from ever taking effect considering that this same law was already in effect for almost a century.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."
