Judge again blocks Arkansas' attempt to ban pill abortions
(Worthy News) - A federal judge has again temporarily blocked Arkansas from becoming the first state to enforce a ban on pill-induced abortions.
U.S. District Judge Kristine Baker granted the injunction to prevent the state from enforcing a 2015 law that says doctors who prescribe abortion medication must have a contract with another physician who has hospital-admitting privileges.
The complex law virtually banned pill-induced abortions in Arkansas, and left just one clinic for surgical abortions. [ Source: UPI (Read More...) ]
