Judge denies effort to lift block on Guam abortion ban

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Abortion will remain legal in Guam after a federal judge denied a request to lift a long-standing permanent injunction blocking a total abortion ban.

The U.S. District Court for the District of Guam rejected Attorney General Douglas Moylan’s (R) request to vacate a federal court’s permanent injunction from 1990 barring Guam from enforcing a law that would have made it a felony for a doctor to perform an abortion and criminalized a patient who has an abortion.

The ruling means abortion care will remain accessible on the island. If the ban had been upheld it would have imposed a significant barrier, as residents of the remote U.S. territory seeking an abortion can’t just drive across state lines.

Hawaii is the closest U.S. state to Guam where abortion is legal, but Honolulu is nearly 4,000 miles away.

That headline is one of those that has so many negatives in it that you have to diagram the sentence and pull out the old symbolic logic charts from set theory to figure out if it says "yes" or "no".
