Missouri's eight-week abortion ban was temporarily blocked from being implemented by a federal judge on Tuesday. The regulation was scheduled to go into effect on Wednesday.
State legislators in May passed the "Missouri Stands for the Unborn," act, a sweeping piece of anti-abortion legislation. In addition to banning the procedure after eight weeks into a woman's pregnancy, the legislation includes a "trigger law" and a ladder of less-restrictive time limits ranging from 14 to 20 weeks, depending on what the courts find to be constitutional.
In late July, Planned Parenthood, the American Civil Liberties Union, and Paul Weiss LLP — the law firm that successfully fought to legalize gay marriage — challenged the law, arguing that Missouri's ban on abortion after eight weeks is in violation of Supreme Court precedent that protects access to abortion.
Tuesday's injunction only covers the state's pre-viability abortion bans and not the law's ban on abortions based solely on race, sex or a "prenatal diagnosis, test, or screening indicating Down Syndrome or the potential of Down Syndrome."
"Like Attorneys General who came before him, Attorney General Eric Schmitt is tasked with defending the laws of the state and is dedicated to protecting Missourians, born and unborn," Chris Nuelle, spokesperson for the Missouri Attorney General, said in a statement provided to CBS News on Tuesday. "We're currently reviewing the judge's ruling and are deciding on next steps."
If Missouri's eight-week ban were to be implemented, it "would prohibit more than two thirds of [Planned Parenthood of St. Louis] patients from obtaining abortions," U.S. District Judge Howard Sachs wrote in his written decision Tuesday. That clinic is the last remaining abortion provider in the state.

This bill is just yet another unconstitutional barbaric Satanic/Satanists Pro murder inc regulatory bill that says “ And Then You Can Kill the Baby”, as long as you do it on time. it fully the denies Equal Protection and the full right of due process across the board.
When states obey?
No; Grim Reaper...
That is the intention of the law.
Is the Governor on board with the law? If so, just make a public statement stating the the State is NOT, under any circumstances going to adhere to the judges decision. What does the judge do then? Can he send the US Marshal’s to lock up the Governor, the AG, and the Legislature? Send them. And then have the State Police and Sheriff’s office arrest the US Marshal’s when they show up.
It’s long past time the Right starts playing by their rules. As Maximus once said...the time for half measures is over

Thank FraudCo for continuing to inspire each of our domestic enemies to do their very best against America.
Until our domestic enemies begin going to jail, they will continue to double down against America with impunity.
As we see it only takes a few Rat Judges sprinkled across the country to preserve the leftists agenda.
Lord have mercy.
Christ have mercy.
Lord have mercy.
