The Republican legislature in Arkansas has overriden a gubernatorial veto and enacted the most restrictive abortion laws in the country

The law makes abortions illegal after 12 weeks - a violation of Roe v. Wade, which allows a fetus to be aborted until it’s viable outside outside of the womb (roughly 24 weeks). Democratic Governor Mike Beebe, who unsuccessfully tried to veto the legislation, called it “blatantly unconstitutional,” and several progressive groups have pledge to challenge the law in federal court.
