A federal judge on Friday blocked a Mississippi law that banned abortions once a fetus's heartbeat is detected, as early as six weeks into pregnancy. Judge Carlton Reeves, an Obama appointee, wrote that the law "threatens immediate harm to women’s rights, especially considering most women do not seek abortion services until after 6 weeks."

Shadow44: Dead, along with the 9th Amendment.
9th Amendment: “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage other [rights] retained by the people.”
I'm going to guess that the 9th Amendment is a double edged sword on the abortion issue.
I don't know the legal history of the “Right to Privacy.”
But, the alleged Right to Privacy is one cornerstone of the “right” to have an abortion, and it is definitely not one of the “enumerated rights” in the Constitution.
Pray for ‘em, then educate ‘em! The Almighty put you there for a good reason, seems to me.
Judge says it ‘threatens immediate harm to women’s rights, especially considering most women do not seek abortion services until after 6 weeks.’?
What? I honestly do not understand the argument he is attempting to make.
Took longer than expected
So, a single low level o’bummer federal hack can countermand the wishes of an entire state? What’s wrong with this picture?
How did we ever get to the point where judges can invoke the death penalty upon innocent life?
YES SIR
Obama lives and strikes again.
Jail, hard prison time, for judges who legislate or enforce judicial legislation. Judges may only make rulings on existing law. All law must conform to USConstitution thru the glass of the Declaration of Independence.
If their is no such (lawful) remedy for the plaintiff then the only ruling possible is: no jurisdiction.
Another Federal Judge making an ideological political decision from the bench then attempting to find a legal argument to back his ruling. In this case (as in many others), the legal argument doesn't make sense.
as it was planned , to go to SCOTUS.
Are Democrats ready to run on abortion & the courts against Trump & GOP?
What if voting was mandatory as in Australia.

Hey bro. They are trying to save black babies lives but I guess that doesn’t matter to you.
Federal judge-President Carlton Reeves Rules The World...
“Why does the lone barky judge get the case?”
Good question but I wouldn’t expect the judge’s ruling to survive en banc review, the 5th circuit is solid Republican.
I'll have to amend my Federal judge-President line to:
Federal judge-President-Mississippi-Governor-Legislature Carlton Reeves.
5th Circuit Court of Appeals: 5 democrat nominees, 11 Republican
IIRC both Bork and Scalia agreed that the 9th and 10th Amendments play no part in judicial consideration these days, and never would again (this did not reflect their own preferences, merely their assessment of the current state of the judiciary)
It would be so much easier if people would just make the over the counter Plan B pill available to young women.
