A federal judge blocked two portions of North Carolina’s new abortion law from taking effect while a lawsuit continues.
North Carolina had a ban on most abortions after 20 weeks before July 1, when the law scaled it back to 12 weeks., also added new exceptions for abortions through 20 weeks for cases of rape and incest and through 24 weeks for “life-limiting” fetal anomalies. A medical emergency exception also stayed in place.
Eagles wrote the plaintiffs were likely to be successful on their claim that the law is so vague as to subject abortion providers to claims that they broke the law if they can’t locate an embryo through an ultrasound because the pregnancy is so new. And Eagles wrote the plaintiffs offered “uncontradicted” evidence that procedures for surgical abortions — also known as procedural abortions — after 12 weeks of pregnancy are the same as those used for managing miscarriages at that time period. Yet women with miscarriages aren’t required to receive those procedures in the hospital, she added.
A spokesperson for Senate leader Phil Berger, one of the legislative defendants, said Saturday that Eagles’ order was still being reviewed.
