ADF: Ground won, lost against pro-abortion groups
in suits challenging Ariz. law protecting women, children

Federal court denies Tucson Women’s Center attempt to stop act protecting women,
state court allows Planned Parenthood assault on new state law that fully informs women

PHOENIX — Alliance Defense Fund attorneys made gains in federal and state court Tuesday against pro-abortion groups seeking to block the enforcement of new legislation passed this year in Arizona to protect pregnant women and their children.  The U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona issued an order denying the Tucson Women’s Center request for a preliminary injunction to stop an act passed this year to ensure that women have enough time and information before having an abortion.  Meanwhile, even though the Arizona Superior Court for Maricopa County granted Planned Parenthood’s preliminary injunction through an order keeping new state laws restricting abortion from taking effect today, ADF attorneys made headway in the first round of litigation.
