Planned Parenthood South Atlantic v. Moore

Summary

Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, another abortion facility chain, and several abortionists are challenging 5 commonsense laws regulating abortion in North Carolina. These laws require that abortions be performed by a licensed physician, that proper facility safety standards be in place, that abortion providers present women with all the options available to them, that women are given a 72-hour informed-consent period before undergoing the procedure, and prohibit telemedicine abortions. Women deserve to know the options they have before they make a life-altering decision like an abortion, and that’s why ADF is representing North Carolina Speaker of the House Timothy Moore and Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger in defending these laws.

On January 6, 2021, ADF filed a motion to dismiss the legal attack against the state.
