A judge in Kansas blocked a state law Monday requiring healthcare providers to tell patients that medication abortion can be reversed and that abortion is linked to breast cancer, reports Reuters. Judge K. Christopher Jayaram of the District Court of Johnson County said the law, which passed in April, violated doctors' right to free speech and patients' right to abortion, which the state's highest court recognized in 2019. Jayaram's order is a preliminary injunction and will remain in place while he considers a lawsuit by abortion providers and Planned Parenthood.
