snip-Ohio’s abortion clinics can continue to provide abortions amid a state health department order to ban all elective surgeries during the novel coronavirus outbreak, a federal judge ruled Monday.

U.S. District Court Judge Michael Barrett ruled that Ohio’s abortion clinics could perform surgical abortions if they could not be delayed because of a medical condition or the delay would prevent the abortion under Ohio law.

snip-The Ohio Department of Health had threatened to apply the ban on all elective surgeries to surgical abortions, effectively banning all abortions after 10 weeks gestation, according to a motion filed by Ohio’s surgical abortion clinics, including Planned Parenthood of Southwest Ohio, on Monday.


snip-"A global pandemic is no time to be playing politics with healthcare, and we are relieved that the district court has acknowledged that abortion is an essential and time-sensitive health care service,” said Chrisse France, the executive director of Cleveland’s abortion clinic Preterm, in a statement."
