US judge temporarily blocks Miss. abortion law

Abortion opponents demonstrate outside Mississippi's only abortion clinic Wednesday, June 27, 2012, in Jackson, Miss. The clinic's owner, Jackson Women's Health Organization, sued Wednesday in a federal lawsuit to stop a law that it says will effectively ban abortion in the state and endanger women's health by limiting access to the procedure.
