An Ohio court has issued a preliminary injunction blocking several provisions of the state's six-week abortion ban. The ruling, made by the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas, halts the enforcement of laws that require abortion patients to make an in-person visit to a clinic to receive information and then wait a minimum of 24 hours before obtaining an abortion. This decision comes in the wake of Ohio's Reproductive Freedom constitutional amendment, which aims to protect reproductive rights in the state.
