LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) Abortion rights supporters asked a federal judge on Monday to prevent Arkansas’ near-total ban on the procedure from taking effect while the groups challenge its constitutionality.

The groups filed a lawsuit last month challenging the ban, which prohibits abortions except those to save the life of the mother.
