Reuss v. Arizona
Healthcare providers seek to block enforcement of Arizona’s 15-week abortion ban on the basis that it violates a state constitutional amendment passed in November 2024 that establishes a fundamental right to pre-viability abortion. On plaintiffs’ motion for judgment on the pleadings, which the state did not contest, the trial court permanently blocked the ban.
