A federal judge has continued to block an effort by the state of Mississippi to close its last remaining abortion clinic. The Jackson Women’s Health Organization faced closure under a new state law that would have forced all physicians who perform abortions to be OB-GYNs with the power to admit patients to local hospitals. The Jackson clinic does employ OB-GYNs, but only one has been able to obtain the necessary hospital privileges. The law would have forced women to drive hundreds of miles out of state in order to obtain an abortion. On Wednesday, Judge Daniel Jordan of Federal District Court extended his ruling from earlier this month blocking the law from taking effect.
