Appeals Court Strikes Down Mississippi's 15-Week Abortion Ban

The video discusses a highly restrictive abortion law in the US that bans abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, with exceptions only for severe fetal health issues or threats to the woman's life. The law does not allow exceptions for incest or rape. Legal opinions, referencing Roe v Wade, affirm a woman's right to choose an abortion before viability, as long as no undue burden is imposed. The law faced legal challenges, with Mississippi's only abortion clinic suing the state, leading to a court ruling blocking the law. The ruling also affects Louisiana, as its similar law's enforcement depended on the Mississippi law being upheld.
