(CNN) A new Arkansas law will let a husband sue a doctor to stop his wife from getting a particular type of abortion. The law, called the Arkansas Unborn Child Protection From Dismemberment Abortion Act, was passed and signed by Gov. It prohibits dismemberment abortion, the most common procedure used in second-trimester abortions. A clause in the law states that the husband of a woman getting the abortion can sue the doctor to stop his wife's abortion. The ACLU of Arkansas claims the law is unconstitutional and plans to challenge it in court before it goes into effect.
