Federal court: Critical aspects of patient safety law in Allen County, Ind. can go into effect

Abortionist represented by ACLU challenged Patient Safety Ordinance,  ADF represents county

FORT WAYNE, Ind. — Alliance Defense Fund attorneys representing Allen County say that a court order denying most of an abortion provider’s motion to stop critical aspects of a new Patient Safety Ordinance means those provisions can go into effect and that the door is open for other Indiana counties to enact similar legislation.

An abortionist represented by the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana and the Center for Reproductive Rights filed a lawsuit in May attacking the county’s new ordinance, designed to protect patient health and safety in the Fort Wayne area and the rest of the county.

Case Name:  Fort Wayne Women’s Health v. Board of Commissioners
