OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — A federal appeals court has ruled against judges from Washington, Oregon and California to allow new Trump Administration rules on abortion to take effect.
The rules ban taxpayer-funded clinics from making abortion referrals and prohibit clinics that receive federal money from sharing office space with abortion providers.
The lower court judges had blocked the rules from taking effect nationwide.
But a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco called the rules “reasonable.”
