A federal judge says she won’t block temporarily a large swath of North Carolina’s abortion law taking effect this weekend that includes a near-ban after 12 weeks of pregnancy
The clean-up measure passed with overwhelming bipartisan support, with some Democrats who fought the new abortion law stating it was better to make a very bad law less onerous. The state constitution gives Cooper until July 7 to sign the bill or veto it. Otherwise, it will become law without his signature. He can act before the 10-day deadline.
Planned Parenthood attorney Peter Im told reporters after the hearing that starting the 12-week ban this weekend would be “devastating.” Brigitte Amiri, an American Civil Liberties Union attorney representing the physician who sued, told Eagles a restraining order is needed because some challenged provisions remain unresolved. She also said it's unclear when and how Cooper will act on the pending clean-up legislation. Abortion providers, she added, also need time to understand any changes.
