Sydney Haulenbeek reports:
A federal judge in North Carolina ruled that abortions performed after 12 weeks must be conducted in hospitals, while also striking down a documentation requirement on physicians in a final judgment issued Monday.
Pregnant women seeking abortions before the 12-week mark will still be able to get a medical or surgical abortion in a clinic or doctor’s office. After 12 weeks, a woman will only be allowed to get a surgical abortion in a hospital, and only if the pregnancy is due to rape or incest or if it endangers her life.
North Carolina is one of a few states in the South that hasn’t imposed a near-total ban on abortions and still allows abortions past six weeks.
