A judge has blocked early enforcement of an Ohio abortion law…signed in December that included additional licensing requirements…challenged by the ACLU and Planned Parenthood as unnecessarily onerous. The stated goal of the bill was to impose criminal penalties on doctors who fail to give medical care in the extremely rare circumstance when a baby is born alive following an abortion attempt. However, provisions were added to the legislation that prevented abortion providers from contracting with backup physicians who teach at or contract with public medical schools.
