A federal judge in New York has blocked a Health and Human Services policy the Trump administration implemented in order to solidify First Amendment protection for doctors. The policy protected healthcare providers who refuse to provide abortions and cited religious objections. Nineteen states and two abortion groups filed a lawsuit in June following Trump’s announcement of the conscience protections, suing to have the policy overturned.

While the judge did not object to the issue of conscience protection, he did take issue with HHS issuing the policy, saying they’re abusing their power.
