Mississippi and Florida Abortion Bans OK'd by State Courts
----------------------------------------------------------

In reproductive rights news, Mississippi's near total ban on abortion is
set to go into effect on Thursday, after a judge rejected a challenge by
Mississippi's only abortion clinic, Jackson Women's Health Organization.
Meanwhile, Florida's 15-week abortion ban has been reinstated after it
was temporarily blocked Tuesday by a state judge.
