U.S. Judge Blocks Enforcement of New La. Abortion Law

Investigators say it appears that all three victims were beaten to death.

A federal judge on Sunday temporarily blocked enforcement of Louisiana's restrictive new abortion law, The Associated Press reported. The law can still go into effect on Monday but officials cannot punish doctors or clinics for breaking it while a challenge is heard. A Center for Reproductive Rights lawsuit claims the new law would force the state's five abortion clinics to close.
