A federal judge has temporarily blocked a highly restrictive anti-abortion law signed by Mississippi Republican Governor Phil Bryant on Monday. The law bans abortions after 15 weeks, even in the case of rape or incest. It is now blocked for 10 days while the judge considers full legal challenges. In his ruling, U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves in Jackson, Mississippi, said, “The Supreme Court says every woman has a constitutional right to 'personal privacy' regarding her body.”
