PHOENIX — Deborah Sheasby, legal counsel with the Center for Arizona Policy and an Alliance Defense Fund allied attorney, will be available for media interviews following a hearing Friday in a lawsuit filed by Planned Parenthood that seeks to strike down two Arizona laws protecting the health and safety of women.  The court granted ADF and CAP permission to file a friend-of-the-court brief in the case, but they are appealing the court’s decision to deny doctors, several organizations, and the bill’s sponsors the ability to intervene in the lawsuit to defend the laws.  Friday’s hearing concerns the state’s motion to dismiss a portion of the lawsuit as well as a motion to intervene filed by the Arizona speaker of the House, who also wishes to defend the laws.

Case Name:  Planned Parenthood Arizona v. Goddard
