Resource: Planned Parenthood South Atlantic et al v. Moore et al

The ACLU, the ACLU of North Carolina, Planned Parenthood Federation of America and the Center for Reproductive Rights filed sweeping litigation on behalf of North Carolina abortion providers and reproductive justice activists challenging several abortion restrictions in the state. Decades of attacks on reproductive rights and health care access by state legislators have already led to provider shortages and an inadequate public health infrastructure in the state, with the COVID-19 pandemic only exacerbating these issues. These discriminatory policies violate civil and reproductive rights, and disproportionately impact North Carolina’s communities of color, particularly Black communities, as well as rural communities.
