CASE UPDATE: Last night a federal judge granted our request to block part of a new Arizona abortion law just hours before it was set to take effect. The “reason ban” portion of the law will remain blocked while the case continues.
Arizona has existing abortion restrictions that make it harder for people to access care, including:
❗A mandatory 24-hour waiting period
❗A ban on the use of telemedicine for medication abortion services
❗A law banning advanced practice clinicians from providing abortions
❗A mandatory 24-hour waiting period
❗A ban on the use of telemedicine for medication abortion services
❗A law banning advanced practice clinicians from providing abortions
“People should not be interrogated about their reason for seeking an abortion. There are no right or wrong reasons...We will keep fighting this ban and the personhood requirement until they are struck down for good.” Emily Nestler, Center Senior Counsel
This case was filed by the Center for Reproductive Rights, @ACLU, and @ACLUaz on behalf of Arizona physicians and advocates. Read our full statement in this latest case development here: reproductiverights.org/new-arizona-ab…
