An Oklahoma County judge on Friday threw out a law restricting medication abortions for the second time, again finding it unconstitutional.

"We are obviously very pleased that the judge ruled in our favor and indicated that she is going to strike down this statute," Autumn Katz, senior staff attorney at the Center for Reproductive Rights, told The Oklahoman on Friday. "Women in Oklahoma can continue to benefit from medical advances, and doctors will be able to prescribe these medications in accordance with what they think is best in their professional judgment."

The law would have required physicians to administer abortion-inducing drugs in accordance with a protocol established in 2000.

District Judge Patricia Parrish struck down House Bill 2684, finding it unconstitutional because it creates an undue burden on a woman's access to abortion. She noted that the law, if enacted, wouldn't have allowed doctors to follow an updated label protocol for administering the drugs but would have forced physicians to abide by an older label protocol.
