A Montana judge has temporarily blocked the state from enforcing a 15-week “dismemberment” abortion ban just hours after it was enacted.

District Judge Mike Menahan granted a request by Planned Parenthood of Montana for a temporary restraining order on the enforcement of the law on May 18 after the organization argued it is unconstitutional.
