Court unshackles Arizona Abortion Consent Act

Ariz. Court of Appeals says state laws protecting pregnant women are constitutional

PHOENIX — The Arizona Court of Appeals Thursday found Arizona’s Abortion Consent Act constitutional and lifted a judge’s order that had stalled its implementation after Planned Parenthood filed suit. In March of last year, ADF–together with the Center for Arizona Policy, the Bioethics Defense Fund, and the Life Legal Defense Foundation–appealed the judge’s order, which tied up new state laws designed to protect the health and safety of pregnant women and their preborn children.
