Days after the historic Supreme Court ruling that struck down Texas’s unconstitutional abortion laws, federal judges halt the implementation of similarly obstructive laws in Florida.
Federal Judge Tanya Walton Pratt has temporarily blocked Indiana’s latest abortion restriction from going into effect.
