A Florida judge ruled that the state’s new 15-week abortion ban is unconstitutional and said he intends to block the law next week, according to The Associated Press.
The ban went into effect on Friday. But Second Judicial Circuit Court Judge John Cooper said he would issue a temporary injunction in the coming days that would allow abortion in Florida to resume and remain legal until 24 weeks into pregnancy.
Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the bill into law in April, setting it up as a so-called “trigger law” that would take effect once the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The law bans abortion at 15 weeks with no exemptions for, incest, or human trafficking, but it allows for exceptions in cases where the pregnancy is a “serious risk” to the mother or if a fatal fetal abnormality is detected.
“While we are disappointed with today’s ruling, we know that the pro-life HB 5 will ultimately withstand all legal challenges,” Christina Pushaw, a spokeswoman for DeSantis, told CNN. Cooper repeated several times in court that the matter at hand wasn’t related to Roe v. Wade but the state’s constitution.
