Federal Judge Blocks Alabama's Abortion Ban

The video discusses the preliminary injunction against Alabama's Human Life Protection Act, which would ban nearly all abortions. The injunction allows abortion services to continue temporarily. The law, signed by Governor Kay Ivey, includes exceptions for serious health risks but imposes severe penalties for performing abortions. The ACLU and Planned Parenthood argue the law is unconstitutional, violating the 14th Amendment. The injunction remains until the case is resolved.
