Judge Blocks Florida's 15-Week Abortion Ban

A judge temporarily paused Florida's 15-week abortion ban, citing it as unconstitutional under the state's privacy provision. The ACLU and Women's Health clinics celebrated the ruling, but the ban remains in effect until the official order is issued. Governor DeSantis plans to appeal, which could lead to further legal battles. The case may eventually reach the Florida Supreme Court, reshaped by Republican governors, where its fate will be decided.
