A pregnant woman's husband will have the power to stop her from having an abortion, even in cases of spousal rape, under a new law introduced in the US state of Arkansas.

Most second trimester abortions will also be banned by Act 45 - the Unborn Child Protection From Dismemberment Abortion Act - which will make it possible for husbands to sue doctors who carry out abortions for civil damages, or get an injunction to block the termination.

They call the law "pro-life" but it's not exactly "pro-living'

laws like this seem like a great way to quasi-gerrymander electoral districts. simply pass laws that a minority will hate, then wait for them to move to a more congenial jurisdiction

A minority? Really?
