NEW ORLEANS, July 29 (UPI) -- A law that would have required Mississippi's only abortion clinic to shut down places an "undue burden" on women who want to end pregnancies, a court said Tuesday.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans ruled in favor of the Jackson Women's Health Organization. The clinic was unable to obtain admitting privileges for its doctor at local hospitals and argued that a new law requiring them is unconstitutional.
