- Abortion Restraining Order to be Extended: A judge plans to extend an order temporarily blocking Ohio’s six week abortion ban, allowing abortions to continue in Ohio into next month. The order was originally to last for 14 days. The Cincinnati Enquirer now reports that the Hamilton County judge plans to extend that through Oct. 12, citing people on both sides of the lawsuit. The judge has scheduled an Oct. 7 hearing, which is for attorneys to explain whether he should grant a preliminary injunction. That could indefinitely block the state law banning doctors from performing abortions after cardiac activity is detected. In the meantime, Ohio abortion clinics can continue to perform procedures up until a gestational age of 20 weeks.
