Ohio Judge Blocks Abortion Restrictions
News summary

A Cincinnati judge has issued a preliminary injunction halting the enforcement of several Ohio laws that restrict access to medication abortions, including the use of telemedicine and the prescription of abortion-inducing drugs by non-physician medical professionals. This decision follows the recent approval of a constitutional amendment by Ohio voters, which generally protects abortion rights and challenges decades of restrictive abortion laws. The injunction allows for the off-label use of mifepristone, extending its use beyond the FDA-approved 70 days gestation limit. This ruling is part of a broader legal trend where courts are blocking restrictive abortion laws, including a recent decision in Franklin County that halted a 24-hour waiting period requirement. In a related case, a federal court in New York protected pro-life pregnancy centers from state penalties, reinforcing their right to offer Abortion Pill Reversal treatments.
