Abortion Contraception Legislation

Oklahoma judge blocks morning-after pill restrictions

In one of two state-related pro-life legal setbacks, District Judge Lisa Davis prevented a law from going into effect in Oklahoma that would have required children under the age of 17 to have a prescription to obtain Plan B One-step pills or generic emergency contraception. Some believe that these pharmaceuticals may have abortifacient effects.  See the National Catholic Register article for more details.

In the other case, Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson has ruled that all hospitals in the state of Washington must provide abortions. See this article on LifeNews.com.
