Judge blocks enforcement of 24-hour abortion law

U.S. District Judge Scott O. Wright imposed a preliminary injunction, at Planned Parenthood's request, while allowing time for the organization to proceed with a separate state lawsuit seeking to clarify parts of the new law.

"Plaintiffs are being forced to choose between performing abortions without any certainty that they are in compliance with the Act, thereby risking imprisonment, fines, and professional censure, or ceasing the performance of abortions," Wright said in his ruling. "Both of these options constitute irreparable harm to plaintiffs, their staff, and their patients."

To say nothing of the irreparable harm done to the unborn children!
