A Montana judge has granted a temporary restraining order to block a law requiring abortion clinics to be licensed in order to practice.

The law, House Bill 937 (pdf), introduced by Republican state Rep. Lola Sheldon-Galloway (R-Great Falls), was signed in May by Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte. It was set to take effect on Oct. 1.
