Ohio judge approves permanent block on state's 'heartbeat' abortion ban [View all]

Ohio’s new “heartbeat” abortion law, outlawing the procedure after six weeks of pregnancy, remains on hold as a Hamilton County judge blocked a ban on virtually all abortions Friday.

A permanent injunction that halts Ohio’s Heartbeat Law was granted by Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Christian Jenkins Friday.

It is “simply wrong” to argue that a “right does not exist because it is not specifically listed in the (U.S.) Constitution,” Jenkins said, according to the Associated Press.

Jenkins granted a temporary restraining order on Sept. 14 at the request of the Kettering Woman’s Center and other pro-choice organizations. News Center 7′s Mike Campbell was in the courtroom Friday as the judge presided over a preliminary injunction hearing on the matter.
