(USA TODAY) The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to weigh in on a controversial Arizona law that would have restricted medication abortions.
Planned Parenthood Arizona and Tucson Women’s Center filed the federal lawsuit alleging the law wasn’t intended to protect women’s health, as it supporters claimed, but rather to keep them from accessing legal abortions, particularly early in pregnancy.
About half of all abortions in Arizona are performed using medications.
