在俄亥俄州，为期六周的堕胎禁令被无限期阻止，而俄亥俄州公民自由联盟代表该州堕胎服务提供商提出的州宪法挑战仍在进行。
上个月，汉密尔顿县法官克里斯蒂安·詹金斯(Christian Jenkins)批准了一项为期14天的禁令，禁止在检测到“胎儿心跳”后进行大多数堕胎，然后批准了俄亥俄州公民自由联盟(ACLU)周五提出的初步禁令。
最新的裁决意味着在案件持续期间，22周以内的堕胎在该州是合法的。

俄亥俄州美国公民自由联盟在一份声明中说:“我们对这第二次重大胜利感到兴奋，并对俄亥俄州的患者可以继续获得堕胎权感到欣慰，因为我们正在努力在法庭上反对这一不公正和危险的禁令。”声明。
俄亥俄州总检察长戴夫·约斯特预计将对这一决定提出上诉。
与此同时，在亚利桑那州，一家法院周五发布了一项带有刑事处罚的近乎全面的堕胎禁令，在亚利桑那州计划生育组织提起上诉的过程中，暂时阻止了该禁令的执行。
长达一个世纪的堕胎禁令生效九月下旬，皮马县高级法院解除了对堕胎禁令的禁令。这部1901年的法律的语言可以追溯到1864年，它没有对强奸、乱伦或胎儿畸形规定例外，并规定实施堕胎可处以2至5年监禁。
今年早些时候，亚利桑那州立法机关通过了一项为期15周的禁令，禁止堕胎，“除非在医疗紧急情况下”。最高法院推翻罗伊案后，州总检察长马克·布诺维奇说，他将寻求取消对更老、更具限制性的法律的禁令。
自从罗伊案被推翻以来，由于对这两项禁令的混淆，亚利桑那州堕胎服务提供者要么暂停服务，要么限制服务。
在发布暂缓令时，法官彼得·埃克斯特罗姆说，“亚利桑那州法院有责任试图协调该州所有相关的法规。法院进一步得出结论，鉴于医疗服务提供者、检察机关和公众迫切需要在法律上明确我们刑法的适用，艰难的权衡强烈支持批准暂缓执行。”
周五的决定允许该州立即恢复堕胎护理。
“虽然今天的裁决给亚利桑那州带来了暂时的喘息，但这种极端的，近乎完全的堕胎禁令的持续威胁仍然非常真实，这种禁令无视全州人民的医疗保健，包括强奸或乱伦的幸存者，”亚利桑那州计划生育组织的总裁兼首席执行官布列塔尼·方特诺在一份报告中说声明。“100多天来，亚利桑那州经历了纯粹的混乱和困惑，这对我们的医生和工作人员来说是一种创伤，他们被迫通知病人，他们不能再照顾他们了。”
Wins for abortion rights advocates in Arizona, Ohio with new court rulings
Restrictive abortion laws were temporarily struck down Friday in Ohio and Arizona, two states where abortion services have been in flux in the wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned.
In Ohio, a six-week abortion ban is indefinitely blocked while a state constitutional challenge brought by the ACLU of Ohio on behalf of abortion providers in the state proceeds.
Last month, Hamilton County Judge Christian Jenkins granted a 14-day restraining order against the law, which prohibits most abortions after the "fetal heartbeat" is detected, before granting the ACLU of Ohio's request for a preliminary injunction on Friday.
The latest ruling means abortion up until 22 weeks will be legal in the state for the duration of the case.
"We are thrilled with this second major victory and relieved that patients in Ohio can continue to access abortion as we work to fight this unjust and dangerous ban in court," the ACLU of Ohio said in astatement.
Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost is expected to appeal the decision.
Meanwhile, in Arizona, a court issued a stay Friday on a near-total abortion ban with criminal penalties, temporarily blocking enforcement of the ban while an appeal filed by Planned Parenthood Arizona proceeds.
The century-old abortion ban hadgone into effectin late September after the Pima County Superior Court lifted an injunction on the abortion ban. The 1901 law, which has language that can be tracked back to 1864, provides no exceptions for rape, incest or fetal abnormalities and makes performing abortions punishable by two to five years in prison.
A 15-week ban, which prohibits abortions "except in a medical emergency," was passed by the Arizona legislature earlier this year. After the Supreme Court overturned Roe, state Attorney General Mark Brnovich said he would seek to lift the injunction on the older, more restrictive law.
Since Roe was overturned, Arizona abortion providers have either suspended or limited services due to confusion over the two bans.
In issuing the stay, Judge Peter Eckerstrom stated, "Arizona courts have a responsibility to attempt to harmonize all of this state's relevant statutes. The court further concludes the balance of hardships weigh strongly in favor of granting the stay, given the acute need of healthcare providers, prosecuting agencies, and the public for legal clarity as to the application of our criminal laws."
Friday's decision allows abortion care to resume in the state immediately.
"While today's ruling brings temporary respite to Arizonans, the ongoing threat of this extreme, near-total abortion ban that has no regard for the health care of those across the state, including survivors of rape or incest remains very real," Brittany Fonteno, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Arizona, said in astatement. "For over 100 days, Arizonans have experienced pure chaos and confusion and it has been traumatic for our physicians and staff who have been forced to notify patients that they can no longer care for them."
