Republican state senators in Oregon filed a lawsuit against Democrats in a Marion County court on Wednesday, seeking to block the Democratic legislators from passing a controversial bill relating to abortion.

In the lawsuit (pdf), state Sen. Suzanne Weber and state Rep. Emily McIntire, both Republicans, joined the pro-life advocacy group Oregon Right To Life to specifically block the bill and accused Democrats of not obeying the laws and are requesting that the judge prohibits the Senate from passing the bill.

Republicans also claim that the bill is not easily readable for the average reader and isn’t written in simple language.
