Northland Family Planning Clinic, Inc. v. Cox
The American Civil Liberties Union, the Center for Reproductive Rights, and the Planned Parenthood Federation of America asked a federal court to block a broad and dangerous Michigan ban on abortion. Besides not providing an adequate exception to protect women’s health, the ban goes farther than any other state or federal law by prohibiting even first-trimester abortions.
