Judge Blocks Oklahoma ID Requirement for Morning-After Pill
Plaintiffs still look to permanently block the law
A judge blocked a measure Monday that would have forced women to show identification when buying "morning after" emergency contraceptives and required girls under 17 to have a prescription for the medication.
The law was scheduled to take effect Thursday.
The New York-based Center for Reproductive Rights is seeking to overturn the law, saying it is unconstitutional and discriminates against women. The group filed a lawsuit earlier this month on behalf of Jo Ann Mangili, of Mounds, who has a 15-year-old daughter, and the Oklahoma Coalition for Reproductive Justice, which has about 1,000 members.
