Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant on Monday signed a bill into law that would ban abortions after 15 weeks, the most restrictive in the U.S.
The law, which is likely to face legal challenges, provides exemptions if a fetus would be unable to survive outside the womb or if a pregnant woman’s life or “major bodily function” is threatened. It does not provide exemptions for rape or incest.
