In a ruling on Wednesday, a federal U.S. Court of Appeals unanimously affirmed a previous decision regarding North Carolina’s abortion law.
At week 16 gestation, a baby’s eyes begin to move, the skin becomes thicker, and movements of limbs become coordinated. At week 17, a child’s toenails develop, and it can roll and flip in the amniotic sac. At week 18, a baby can start to hear. At week 19, a baby’s first set of teeth are developing.
As reported by Raleigh’s local media outlet, “North Carolina cannot enforce a state law that sought to tighten restrictions on abortions, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday in one of the latest challenges to existing abortion law.”
