Planned Parenthood v. Alaska

Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest and the Hawaiian Islands (PPGNHI) filed a lawsuit on the State of Alaska, Planned Parenthood v. Alaska, over an abortion law on December 12, 2019. The law stipulates that only state board certified physicians can provide abortions. Planned Parenthood claims that the law "restricts" women's access to gynecological care, such as miscarriage care and early medication abortions, by preventing advanced practice clinicians from providing services for which PP claims they are qualified. They claim that these clinicians have, for years, been "safely" providing these services in Hawaii and Washington where they are trained.[1][2]
