A Florida judge has moved to temporarily block a state law banning abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, a day before the law was scheduled to take effect, following a legal challenge arguing that the law approved by Republican Governor Ron DeSantis earlier this year “blatantly” violates the state’s constitution.
The temporary injunction to be issued by Leon County Circuit Court Judge John Cooper follows a US Supreme Court decision to strike down the constitutional right to an abortion, sending the decision whether to protection abortion access back to individual states.
