A judge in Kansas has issued a preliminary injunction blocking a state law that requires healthcare providers to inform patients about the possibility of reversing medication abortion and falsely linking abortion to breast cancer. The judge stated that the law violated doctors' right to free speech and patients' right to abortion.
Watch on - A judge in Kansas on Monday blocked a state law requiring healthcare providers to tell patients that medication abortion can be reversed and that abortion is linked to breast cancer while he considers a legal challenge to the law by abortion providers and Planned Parenthood.
Jayaram's order is a preliminary injunction, not a final order, and will remain in place while he considers the lawsuit. ADF is a conservative legal group that has spearheaded other anti-abortion litigation, including a case in which it won an order from a Texas judge last year banning the abortion drug mifepristone. That order is on hold while the Biden administration appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The American Cancer Society states on its website that, while the topic is difficult to study, scientific evidence"does not support the notion that abortion of any kind raises the risk of breast cancer."
