Ohio’s abortion ban, which applies after a fetal heartbeat is detected, has been blocked indefinitely amid ongoing litigation brought by abortion providers challenging the state laws.

Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Christian Jenkins previously issued a temporary injunction on Sept. 14, which blocked the abortion ban for 14 days, before granting the preliminary injunction on the abortion ban on Friday.
