U.S. Appeals Court Rejects Arkansas 12-Week Abortion Ban

HeadlineMay 28, 2015

A federal appeals court has struck down an Arkansas law banning abortion after 12 weeks of pregnancy. The ruling upholds an earlier decision against the 2013 law, which was among the most extreme abortion bans in the country. In a statement, the ACLU said, “This law was about banning abortion, plain and simple. Other states looking to pass similar laws should pay close attention.”
