In a legal victory, a judge has stopped the Obama administration from targeting a peaceful pro-life advocate helping provide abortion alternatives to women heading to an abortion facility in Louisville, Kentucky.

The Life Legal Defense Foundation, a pro-life legal group, stepped in to provide Hamilton with legal support in court.
