Judge stops enforcement of abortion-reporting law
By BARBARA HOBEROCK World Capitol Bureau

OKLAHOMA CITY — An Oklahoma County judge has temporarily blocked enforcement of a controversial abortion-reporting law.
A temporary restraining order was issued Monday in a challenge to House Bill 1595, which was set to take effect Nov. 1.
The measure would require women seeking abortions to disclose information that would be put on a state-run Web site. The measure did not require that names and other identifying information be put on the Web site.
The information to be disclosed included previous pregnancies and live births; previous marriages; previous induced abortions; how the abortion was paid for; the reason for the abortion; and information about the mother’s relationship with the baby’s father, among other things.
Two Oklahoma women filed suit against the legislation Sept. 29, alleging that it violates a state constitutional requirement that bills cover a single subject.
Earlier this year, another Oklahoma County judge tossed out a bill that would have required women seeking abortions to have an ultrasound within an hour of the procedure and to have its findings explained to them. In that case, the judge determined that the measure, HB 1878, violated the single-subject rule. That decision has been appealed.
In the present case, District Judge Twyla Mason Gray is expected to rule by Oct. 30 on the state’s request to dissolve the temporary restraining order, said Charlie Price, a spokesman for Attorney General Drew Edmondson.
A hearing on the plaintiffs’ request for a temporary injunction is set for Dec. 4.
If granted, the temporary injunction would prohibit the state from enforcing the law until the judge has ruled on the lawsuit, Price said.
