Arkansas to implement first-of-their-kind abortion restrictions later this month

Beginning August 28, doctors in Arkansas will be prohibited from offering patients dilation and evacuation abortions.

A handful of first-of-their-kind abortion regulations can be implemented this month in Arkansas, a federal court ruled Friday afternoon.

The decision could further restrict how patients access the procedure in a state that's been aggressive in legislating abortion.

The restrictions were passed in the state's 2017 legislative session and were subsequently blocked by a district court before they could be implemented.

Medical (nonsurgical) abortion by pills doesn't work?

This is beyond disgusting. This has to be unconstitutional.
