(The Center Square) – North Carolina is expected to remain a destination for abortions in the South following two decisions on Friday in a federal case litigating new state law.

Judge Catherine Eagles decided on a permanent block for part of the legislation that says doctors must document the location of a pregnancy before prescribing abortion pills. Reasonable enforcement would be challenging, she said. Eagles issued the injunction for it last year.
