Decision means state’s ban with exceptions for rape and incest will be immediately and permanently struck down
“While this right is not absolute, and must be balanced against the state’s interest in protecting unborn life, this Act – which severely limits – and in many instances completely forecloses – abortion, is an unreasonable restriction on a woman’s right to privacy and is therefore unconstitutional,” the decision read.
The judgment also casts doubt on whether any future plans by the legislature to bring a total ban on abortion would be considered unconstitutional.
