Judge Slams Male Lawmakers Over Abortion Ban


November 21, 2018 at 7:35 am EST By Taegan Goddard

A federal judge has blocked a Mississippi state law that sought to ban most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, while issuing a stinging rebuke of “controlling” male lawmakers who “gaslight” the public into believing they care about women’s health, CNN reports

Said Judge Carlton Reeves: “As a man, who cannot get pregnant or seek an abortion, I can only imagine the anxiety and turmoil a woman might experience when she decides whether to terminate her pregnancy through an abortion. Respecting her autonomy demands that this statute be enjoined.”
