A judge this afternoon granted an emergency injunction that blocks Florida’s newest abortion law from going into effect tomorrow as planned.

The new law requires women to wait at least 24-hours after meeting in person with her doctor before the procedure can go forward. The law, which was scheduled to go into effect on Wednesday, will remain blocked while the case proceeds.

In an 11-page ruling, Leon County Circuit Court Judge Charles Francis emphasized that he was not ruling on whether the law violated a woman’s right to privacy but whether the groups that sought the emergency order were entitled to a temporary injunction.

“The court has no evidence in front of it in which to make any factual determination that a 24-hour waiting period with eh accompanying second trip necessitated by the same is not an additional burden on a woman’s right of privacy,” Francis wrote.

Blacked robed tyrants seem to love perved sex and killing innocent babies. What other conclusions can be drawn?

The time has come to IGNORE judge’s rulings. Florida and Texas need to secede.

Sooner or later we’ll come to the obvious conclusion that perhaps judges might, just might, learn to fear their rulings.

Just sayin’........

Liberals don’t mind a waiting period to buy a handgun. What’s the difference?

Like it said, the court saw a standing issue. They cannot rule on the merits unless the proper parties are before the court. If it is determined they were the proper parties, it will be sent back and the judge will rule. The law will probably be upheld since the Supreme Court has held 24 hour waiting periods are entirely acceptable.

That’s a main reason why we need to have States and the People start saying “NO!” to the Feds and the courts - all of them seem to “err” on the side of perversion and death of innocents.
