The Eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Little Rock, Arkansas, decided on Tuesday that it will not reconsider its earlier <\/span>decision<\/span><\/a> from this summer to lift a judge\u2019s injunction against four Arkansas abortion restrictions. The court was sued by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Center for Reproductive Rights on behalf of Little Rock abortionist, Frederick Hopkins, after its August decision to allow four Arkansas abortion restriction laws to take effect.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the four restrictions previously blocked by a judge is a ban on second trimester dilation and evacuation (D&E) abortion procedures (learn more information about this brutal procedure in the video below). Additionally, the court lifted the judge\u2019s injunction against a sex-selective abortion ban, a measure specifying how aborted babies\u2019 remains are to be disposed of, and a requirement that police must be notified and fetal remains must be preserved from abortions committed on girls younger than age 14.<\/span><\/p>\n
