U.S. District Judge Phyllis Hamilton of San Francisco ruled the law appears unconstitutional because it provides no exemptions for a woman's health. The basis for her ruling essentially mirrors the reasons cited by the other judges.

Hamilton called the new law "an undue burden on a woman's right to choose."

But Justice Department attorney Anthony Coppolino told Hamilton that "Congress' judgment should prevail" and that the law should not be stricken "because you disagree."
