Pro-life doctors in Illinois are breathing a sigh of relief today.
An Illinois judge has suspended a state requirement that forced them to give abortion information and referrals to patients.
Medical providers who oppose abortion had sued to overturn the law, saying it violated their free-speech rights.
Punishment for not providing abortion referrals could have resulted in a fine of $10,000 or loss of a health care provider's medical license.
The group's attorney, Matt Bowman, commended the judge's ruling, calling it a "victory for free speech and the freedom of conscience."
