WASHINGTON - Judges in Florida and Kentucky on Thursday moved to block those states from enforcing bans or restrictions on abortion after the US Supreme Court last weekIn Tallahassee, Florida, Circu

it Court Judge John Cooper said he would grant a petition from abortion rights groups to temporarily put on hold a state law that would bar abortions after the 15th week of pregnancy.

The Florida and Kentucky decisions came amid a flurry of litigation by abortion rights groups seeking to preserve the ability of women to terminate pregnancies after Friday's historic ruling by the conservative-majority Supreme Court.

In the long term, however, abortion rights supporters face tough odds. The highest courts in many of those states are dominated by conservative or Republican justices who may be more sympathetic to restrictions on abortion access.Florida's 15-week ban, which Republican Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law in April, had been set to take effect on Friday. The law mirrors the Mississippi law at the heart of the Supreme Court case that reversed Roe.

In Kentucky, Perry sided with two abortion clinics, including a Planned Parenthood affiliate, which challenged a trigger ban as well as another law that bars abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, before some women know they are pregnant.
