Mississippi seeks abortion ban for race, sex, genetic error

Mississippi's Republican-led Legislature is trying to restrict the reasons women may seek abortion, after federal courts blocked time limitations that the state tried to put on the procedure the past two years. Abortion would be prohibited if a woman is seeking one because of the race, sex or genetic abnormality of the fetus, under a bill that passed a state House committee Tuesday. Other states have been sued over similar laws, and opponents questioned whether Mississippi is inviting another lawsuit over abortion.
