In its letter, the health department stated the advertisements were "false" and "dangerous" and requested the ads be removed within 24 hours, or it would proceed with legal measures.

District Judge Mark E. Walker initially granted the plaintiff's request for a temporary restraining order. The order was set to expire on Tuesday, but Walker extended it until Nov. 12 - one week after the election.

Yes on 4 cheered the decision. 

The order will expire on Nov. 12 or when the court enters an order on the plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction. 

Amendment 4's language states, "No law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient's health, as determined by the patient's healthcare provider."
