Planned Parenthood of Arizona announced today that it intends to sue the state over the constitutionality of a bill signed by Governor Jan Brewer back in July, which is set to go into effect September 31st.[..]
Planned Parenthood claims that certain provisions of the bill violate the constitutional rights of women, including a measure that requires a 24-hour waiting period between the time she goes to the doctor seeking an abortion and the time she has the procedure.
Officials at Planned Parenthood told New Times in July that the provision is designed to invoke fear in women before they have the procedure, with the hope that they will reconsider.
