The “order does not prevent the state from crafting regulations which would allow enforcement to move forward.”
It appears the judge only blocks the penalties and not the law. The abortion mills still will be regulated, it’s just that the regulations need to be drafted. This article is unnecessarily confusing, an attempt to mislead.
The article is very clear that the law has been suspended, but compare the judge’s actions to whenever any OTHER regulation is put into place. When Congress is 1973 demanded that academically incompetent children receive the same education in the same setting as everyone else, it’s taken 50 years running to create the regulations to define how to meet an impossible standard... but the law stayed on the books.
And if you don’t believe that the judge is a pro-slaughter-innocent-babies judge, read the top of her statement: “If Plaintiff cannot comply with HB3 and must cease providing certain medical services until the Cabinet promulgates a means of compliance, then this disruption to medical services will no doubt interrupt the continuity of care for Plaintiff’s patients... As a result, a temporary restraining order serves public policy.”
IOW, she finds that it serves public policy to ensure that baby killing isn’t temporarily halted.
