'Here we go again,' wrote U.S. District Court Judge Carlton Reeves in his order granting the injunction.

Six months after issuing an injunction against a Mississippi state law severely restricting abortions after 15 weeks, a federal judge has enjoined a newer, stricter law that seeks to bar most abortions after only eight weeks.

"The Court ruled that the law was unconstitutional and permanently enjoined its enforcement," wrote the judge Friday. "The State responded by passing an even more restrictive bill." The judge ruled that the Mississippi law"threatens immediate harm to women’s rights, especially considering most women do not seek abortion services until after 6 weeks."
