Oklahoma Ultrasound Law Put on Hold An Oklahoma law that requires a woman to undergo an ultrasound and receive a description of her baby before aborting it has been blocked by court order just days before its scheduled implementation. The Center for Reproductive Rights sued in October, claiming the bill violates a woman's privacy, endangers health and assaults dignity. The center, which aborts about 200 preborn babies a month, also claims the law would put it out of business. The bill's sponsor, Republican Sen. Todd Lamb, told The Associated Press: "If any abortion clinic shut down, my hope would be that they shut down through a lack of demand." The law will remain on hold until March 27.
