Abortion rights groups sue against restrictions in Virginia

Published June 20, 2018 4:07pm ET



Reproductive rights groups have sued the state of Virginia in an effort to undo dozens of abortion restrictions there, less than a week after taking similar actions in Texas.

Some of the restrictions go back decades and include requirements for clinic licensing, requirements for undergoing an ultrasound, and a ban on allowing certain healthcare workers to provide abortions. The lawsuit was filed in the Eastern District Court of Virginia in Richmond.
