A federal judge on Friday blocked a Tennessee law that required abortionists to advise patients about options for reversing a chemical abortion.

Judge William Campbell issued a preliminary injunction (pdf), ruling that the requirement is unconstitutional. Campbell opined that issuing the injunction would preserve the status quo and that the status quo is not harmful to the public’s interest.
