Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky v. Commissioner

1:13-cv-01335 | U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana

Anonymous Plaintiffs 1-5 v. Individual Members of the Medical Licensing Board of Indiana

49D01-2209-PL-031056 | Indiana state trial court

Filed Date: Sept. 8, 2022

This case is a challenge, on religious grounds, to Indiana's post-Dobbs anti-abortion law.

Whole Woman's Health v. Paxton

2022-38397 | Texas state trial court

Filed Date: June 27, 2022

Closed Date: Oct. 10, 2022

Legislative Background This case is about Texas’ effort to criminalize pre-6-week abortions by enforcing 1925 state law, even prior to the effectuation of Texas' abortion trigger ban.

No. 3AN-10-12279 CI | Alaska state trial court

Filed Date: Nov. 19, 2010

Case Ongoing

This case concerns abortion restrictions in Alaska relating to pregnant minors and parental involvement. In 2007, the Alaska Supreme Court held a parental consent law unconstitutional because it violated the state constitution’s equal protection clause by regulating minors terminating pregnancies but not other pregnant minors. Two years after that ruling, anti-abortion activists in Alaska submitted an application for a ballot initiative to require parental notification instead. Minors seeking a…
