Anti-Abortion Law: Delayed!

Oklahoma passed an anti-abortion law, but due to a temporary injunction the law, Senate Bill 1878, did not go into effect on November 1.  This law would require doctors to perform an ultrasound and provide the woman with a detailed description of her fetus an hour before receiving an abortion.  The injunction was filed by Nova Health Systems, the parent group of Tulsa's Reproductive Services.  The injunction claimed the law violates a "woman's right to privacy because it would force her to listen to unwelcome, government dictated language in a private setting."  The Attorney General's Office has no objection to the injunction provided the process moves forward.  The injunction is in effect through March 27, 2009.
