In May 2019, the District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi issued another injunction, this time against a newly passed Mississippi abortion law.[29] This was a heartbeat bill that forbade most abortions when a fetus's heartbeat could be detected, which is usually from 6 to 12 weeks into pregnancy.[30][31] In a February 2020 per curiam decision, the Fifth Circuit also upheld the second injunction.[32] The Fifth Circuit's statements for both injunctions were similar because they both cited the lack of fetal viability during earlier stages of gestation as a reason to enjoin the laws.[33]
