Abortion-rights groups have sued Arkansas over its ban on abortions after 18 weeks into pregnancy, arguing the measure is unconstitutional and calling for a judge to block it from going into effect this summer
The American Civil Liberties Union and Planned Parenthood filed a lawsuit Wednesday against Arkansas state officials charging that the 18-week ban -- as well as laws that prohibit abortions targeting fetuses with Down syndrome and allow only certified obstetrician-gynecologists to perform abortions -- is unconstitutional.
It bans abortions after 18 weeks into a pregnancy -- six weeks before the standard set by Roe -- except in medical emergencies and in cases of rape or incest.The plaintiffs argue that hastening that deadline infringes on patients' constitutional rights to privacy.
