Judge Blocks Arkansas Near-Total Abortion Ban
---------------------------------------------

A federal judge has temporarily blocked Arkansas' near-total abortion
ban a week before it was set to go into effect, saying it was
"categorically unconstitutional." The law makes exceptions only if the
pregnant person's life is in danger, and disproportionately targets
people of color, LGBTQ+ and low-income people.
