(Reuters) - A federal judge on Wednesday blocked Ohio from enforcing a new law that critics said would effectively ban most abortions in the state, starting as early as six weeks into pregnancy.
U.S. District Judge Michael Barrett in Cincinnati issued a preliminary injunction against enforcing the “Heartbeat Protection Act,” saying it imposed an unconstitutional “undue burden” on a woman’s right to obtain a pre-viability abortion.
The law was signed by Republican Governor Mike DeWine in April, following passage by the Republican-controlled state legislature, and was slated to take effect on July 11.
It was designed to stop doctors from performing abortions after a fetal heartbeat can be detected. This can occur six weeks into a pregnancy, before many women know they are pregnant. Under the law, violators could face up to a year in prison.
“Governor DeWine has long believed that this issue would be decided by the United States Supreme Court,” spokesman Dan Tierney said in an email following Wednesday’s decision.

Jorge Bush appointee.
Ohio is in the 6th District? I wonder how many of the judges in the 6th District were appointed by Obama and Clinton. Curious on how an abortion Law would fare during appeals in the 6th district.
Another Robert’s-like Bushie judge...
It was an act of Love....please clap!
This turd needs to resign in 3-2-1!!!
A federal judge, well that’s a shocker. /s
PLay it like the Dems do. Dox this MFer and stand outside his house at 3AM.
The Judicial branch of government is the BIGGEST PROBLEM there is in this country!!!
Something must be done where one, or a small handful of people thwart the will of the people, or our representative form of government!!!
These effing judges. Protect an illegal, kill a baby. They are Satan’s catamites.
“saying it imposed an unconstitutional “undue burden” on a woman’s right to obtain a pre-viability abortion.”
Would someone please show me the spot in our Constitution that says that???
We are not at liberty to inquire into the motives of the legislature. We can only examine into its power under the Constitution; and the power to make exceptions to the appellate jurisdiction of this court is given by express words. ... It is quite clear, therefore, that this court cannot proceed to pronounce judgment in this case, for it has no longer jurisdiction of the appeal; and judicial duty is not less fitly performed by declining ungranted jurisdiction than in exercising firmly that which the Constitution and the laws confer.
- Ex Parte McCardle, 74 US 506 (1869)

Won't somebody at least buy me a printing press?
I also have the right to bear arms, but I don't own any firearms. Shouldn't every American be guaranteed a gun?
Huh? She can’t grow squat without a dude.
Even the woman AND the man are just part of the stoyy. In Genesis (Gen 4:1) when Eve gives birth to the first child, it reads like this:
"Now the man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, "I have gotten a manchild with the help of the LORD."
She got a manchild alright, a future murderer.
Exactly. The first boy ever born, killed the second boy ever born.
