Judge rejects Ohio's abortion pill law

[cynatnite]

CINCINNATI - A federal judge struck down an Ohio law restricting the use of an abortion-inducing pill, calling the law vague and saying it could jeopardize women's health.

Wednesday's ruling by U.S. District Judge Susan Dlott came two years after a court challenge by Ohio abortion providers.

The 2004 law, which had never taken effect, bars doctors from prescribing mifepristone, or RU-486, after the seventh week of pregnancy.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, which joined the suit this year, said the law interfered with medical decisions and criminalized practices that could be in the best interest of patients.
