The court ruled that key provisions of the law violate doctors' free speech rights. The law was challenged by the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of North Carolina, the Center for Reproductive Rights and Planned Parenthood Federation of America. The law would have required abortion providers to perform an ultrasound and place the image in the woman's line of sight. The provider would then be required to describe the embryo or fetus in detail, even if the woman asked the doctor not to, and to offer the woman the opportunity to hear the "fetal heart tone." "Today's ruling protects. the rights of women and ' their doctors from the ideo logical agenda of extremist ' lawmakers," said Jennifer Rudinger, executive director of the ACLU of North Carolina. "If these unconsti tutional measures had gone into effect, doctors would have been prevented from using their best medical judgment to provide patients with care based on their specific individual needs. TTiis law represented an egregious government intrusion into individuals' private medical decisions, and we are very pleased that it will not go into effect."
