More on the abortion/Nebraska ruling from yesterday

I still find it confusing. I found this article from the Omaha Channel in Nebraska, it givesmore detail:

U.S. District Judge Richard Kopf said his ruling would likely apply only to Dr. LeRoy Carhart of Bellevue and three other physicians who perform abortions. Those doctors are licensed to practice in Alabama, Georgia, Iowa, New York, South Carolina and Virginia. That means Kopf's ruling potentially could extend to those states.

An article from the Guardian goes into more detail:

[The] order by U.S. District Judge Richard Kopf in Lincoln applies only to the four doctors, who together are licensed in 13 states across the Midwest and East, and their staffs.

Kopf also cited concerns that the law lacks an exception to allow the procedure in cases when the pregnant woman's health is in danger.
