Shockingly, the judge was appointed by Bill Clinton.

(Life News) — A federal judge issued a ruling late Friday blocking a new health and safety law pro-life Gov. Sam Brownback signed to make the three abortion centers in the state follow the same standards as legitimate medical centers.

The new law requires abortion centers to, like outpatient medical facility, be housed at a location “having an emergency door that can accommodate a gurney . . . maintaining proper emergency equipment, drugs and protocols, having proper lighting and ventilation, lavatory areas, and spaces for the sterilization of surgical equipment. Clinics must also have a licensed nurse in the clinic when abortions are done.”

The law faces two lawsuits from two of the three abortion businesses it affects and Planned Parenthood was set to join them until the state health department late Thursday granted it a one-year license saying it followed the law sufficiently.

Today, U.S. District Judge Carlos Murguia issued an injunction against the law that will remain in effect until the lawsuit is complete. Murguia said he had seen enough evidence from the two other abortion centers showing that they would “suffer irreparable harm” if the law went into effect. The Kansas attorney general’s office argued that that was not the case — pointing to the fact that Planned Parenthood received a license as evidence that abortion businesses that agree to follow proper laws will be licensed.

Murguia is a Democrat and an appointee of pro-abortion President Bill Clinton.
