Mississippi Gov. Signs into Law Abortion After 15 Weeks, Sparking Lawsuit
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

And Mississippi Republican Governor Phil Bryant has signed into law one
of the most restrictive anti-abortion laws in the country, banning
abortions after 15 weeks, even in the case of rape or incest. The Center
for Reproductive Rights has sued Mississippi over the ban, calling it
unconstitutional. Lawsuits by the Center for Reproductive Rights have
blocked similar laws in Arizona, North Dakota and Arkansas in recent
years.
