In Ohio, Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Christian Jenkins issued a preliminary injunction that blocks the state's heartbeat bill, which bans abortions when a "fetal heartbeat" is detected, which could be as early as six weeks.
After Roe v. Wade was overturned, the law was put into effect, but was then paused.
