Good news re. abortion

Decision Allows Woman's Abortion A judge on Monday overturned an unusual decision that temporarily barred a woman from having an abortion.

The judge dissolved the temporary injunction forbidding Tanya Meyers, from ending her pregnancy. He also dismissed the lawsuit filed by her ex-boyfriend, John Stachokus, who had sought to force her to carry her pregnancy to term.

A woman's right to have an abortion ``is not subject to being vetoed by a woman's husband or partner,'' Common Pleas Judge Michael Conahan said in his decision Monday, one week after another judge ordered the injunction. ``Neither an ex-boyfriend nor a fetus has standing to interfere with a woman's choice to terminate her pregnancy.''
