PHOENIX (AP) — A federal judge on Monday refused to block new Arizona rules limiting the use of the most common abortion drugs, handing a victory to conservatives in a lawsuit over restrictions that are the most stringent in the nation.

The ruling by U.S. District Judge David C. Bury means the new restrictions will take effect Tuesday.

The rules ban pill-induced abortions after seven weeks of pregnancy, compared with the current nine-week restriction.

Bury made his ruling in response to a lawsuit by Planned Parenthood Arizona and the private abortion clinic Tucson Women's Center, who say the rules severely infringe on a woman's ability to have an abortion. He was asked to grant an injunction that would have blocked the rules from taking effect.

A safe, reliable method why, of course, they will deny that.

These people won't be happy until all abortion and contraception is illegal and women are dying at the hands of butchers in desperation to put a halt to pregnancies that are unwanted, unaffordable and unhealthy (for both mom and fetus).

4. Yet one more reason not to spend a dime in AZ. I'll send my nasty

grams via email but will not set foot in the state. We have friends who live there, and tell them we'll meet them anywhere, but the political setting there is nuts -- racist, sexist, and homophobic.
