The ACLU, Center for Reproductive Rights, and Planned Parenthood

Have Leveled a Coordinated Legal Strike on Restrictive Abortion Laws in Three States

Today the ACLU has joined forces with the Center for Reproductive Rights and Planned Parenthood in a new wave of lawsuits to protect and expand access to abortion. Together, we simultaneously filed three challenges to medically unnecessary abortion restrictions in Alaska, Missouri, and North Carolina.

Women have a constitutional right to decide whether to end or continue a pregnancy, and the Supreme Court has consistently upheld this right. Just this summer — in their landmark decision striking down Texas’ abortion restrictions that closed clinics across the state — the court reaffirmed that laws that impose a burden on women’s access to abortion must be balanced by some medical benefit. Since the ruling, abortion restrictions in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Oklahoma and Wisconsin have already been struck down or been permanently blocked.

The law is clear: States cannot ban abortion.

1. I am very pleased to see these 3 agencies banding together to fight the "pro-life" idiots.

It is just this sort of concerted action that will stop the attacks on women. The language is clear and so is their purpose.

More power to them!
