ABQ 20-wk abortion ban gets legal support from surprising source
Albuquerque voters will today decide the fate of an initiative that would ban abortions past 20 weeks in their city.
Should the ban pass, a lawsuit to block it is certain. What happens after that is anything but. New ground in the fight to stop abortion is being broken.
What sets ABQ’s 20-week abortion ban apart, of course, is it’s a local, not state ban. Thirteen states have now passed similar bans. Three are currently enjoined as they work their way through the courts.
