Judge Who Said Trump’s Attacks on Judiciary Reminded Him of Segregation Era Blocks Abortion Bill, Says ‘Here We Go Again’ (https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/judge-who-said-trumps-attacks-on-judiciary-reminded-him-of-segregation-era-blocks-abortion-bill-says-here-we-go-again/)
A federal judge blocked Mississippi abortion bill S.B. 2116 on Friday, and began his order by saying “here we go again.”
U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves garnered attention in recent months while accepting the Thomas Jefferson Foundation Medal in Law at the University of Virginia School of Law. During that speech, Reeves cited President Donald Trump‘s tweets and comments to illustrate his belief that the country is at risk as it was during the days of segregation and the KKK.
The Mississippi bill, which was set to go into effect in July, would have prohibited abortions after the detection of a fetal heartbeat (as early as six weeks of pregnancy).
As we alluded to in the opening, the first words of Reeves’ order were “Here we go again.”
