En Banc Ninth Circuit Lifts Blocks on Trump Abortion Gag Rule
SAN FRANCISCO (CN) A divided en banc Ninth Circuit on Monday lifted three injunctions against a Trump administration rule that denies federal funding to clinics that refer women for abortions.
In a 7-4 split, the Ninth Circuit rejected arguments that the rule forces doctors to violate medical ethics by withholding information from patients or that it violates other federal laws that require doctors inform patients of all medical treatment options.
It’s that old shock wave, rolling through the 9th Circuit.
