JUST IN - Judge temporarily blocks Ohio law banning most abortions
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A state judge temporarily blocked Ohio's ban on virtually all abortions Wednesday, again pausing a law that took effect after federal abortion protections were overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court in June.
"No great stretch is required to find that Ohio law recognizes a fundamental right to privacy, procreation, bodily integrity and freedom of choice in health care decision making," Jenkins wrote. The six-week bill, sponsored by state Sen. Kristina Roegner , does not have an exception for rape or incest. It also only applies only to intrauterine pregnancies. It only has two exceptions.
Abortion providers and their defenders have said the law has already created a host of hardships, including forcing a 10-year-old Ohio rape victim to travel to Indiana for an abortion.
