Beck v. Edwards
What's at Stake
The 老澳门开奖结果, the Arkansas Civil Liberties Union, and the Center for Reproductive Rights have filed a lawsuit asking the court to block an Arkansas law that would ban almost all abortion care starting at 12 weeks of pregnancy.
Summary
In March 2013, the Arkansas legislature overrode Gov. Mike Beebe's veto of the law. At the time, it was the most severe abortion ban in the country. The Arkansas ban is currently set to take effect in July 2013.
