U.S. District Judge Halts TRAP Enforcement

Last week, U.S. District Judge Henry Herlong issued a temporary
restraining order against the enforcement of South Carolina’s
Regulation 61-12, a "Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers." The
restraining order is the latest development in a lawsuit filed against
TRAP by two South Carolina abortion providers.

CRLP attorney Bonnie Scott Jones has said of TRAP that "the true
intent is to make it virtually impossible for physicians to provide
abortions in their office and to segregate abortion services from
mainstream medicine." Herlong is holding hearings this week to
consider the plaintiff’s claim that TRAP rules are overly vague.
