Chicago - A Cook County judge has blocked the enforcement of an Illinois law which would have required doctors to tell parents or guardians that their 17 or younger child planned to get an abortion.
 
The move came just hours after the Illinois Medical Disciplinary Board decided the state should start enforcing the bill.
 
The law was originally passed in 1995 but wasn't allowed to be enforced until a federal court lifted an injunction in August.

ACLU lawyers claimed the bill violated the Illinois Constitution, which already lets minors make a variety of decisions when it comes to pregnancies which don't require parental involvement.

Supporters of the law say the law is legal because the state Supreme Court says so.
