Judge: Mississippi abortion clinic to stay open
JACKSON, Miss. — A federal judge upheld Mississippi's anti-abortion law Friday but said the state's only clinic can stay open and will not face any penalties as it tries to comply with the new mandate.
U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III gave the clinic and the state each a partial victory with his ruling. The law requires anyone who does abortions at the clinic to be an OB-GYN with privileges to admit patients to a local hospital. The clinic's two out-of-state OB-GYNS don't have those privileges and have had difficulty getting them from local hospitals.
