Planned Parenthood launches attack on state abortion regs

Planned Parenthood is launching a major push in eight states to repeal abortion clinic regulations ruled unconstitutional earlier this week by the Supreme Court.

The court struck down Texas’ requirements for abortion providers to have hospital privileges and qualify as surgical centers, but similar laws remain in place in many other states around the country. Planned Parenthood said Thursday it will work with partners in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia to introduce legislation repealing those measures.
