Several media outlets reported on the lawsuit filed by the Center and its partners seeking to restore abortion access in Arizona. The lawsuit asks the court to clarify doctors’ obligations under the state’s multiple, overlapping abortion laws, which have forced providers to cease abortion services for fear of criminal prosecution. The Center’s Nancy Northup, president and CEO, and Gail Deady, staff attorney, were quoted in several pieces.
