[2009.09.24] CitizenLink: Lawsuits Swirl as Arizona Pro-Life Law Set to Take Effect
Two Arizona legislators, doctors and numerous organizations filed motions Tuesday to intervene in state and federal lawsuits aimed at tearing down new protections for women considering an abortion. The Alliance Defense Fund is representing the group.
The Abortion Consent Act, which requires parental consent for underage girls, and informed consent and a 24-hour waiting period for all women, is set to take effect Sept. 30 — the same day a federal judge will rule in the case.
Planned Parenthood and the Center for Reproductive Freedom are challenging the constitutionality of the law. A separate state lawsuit is pending.
"The Abortion Consent Act empowers women to make informed decisions about their health care," said ADF Senior Legal Counsel Steven H. Aden. "These types of protections have been repeatedly upheld and are overwhelmingly supported by the public."
[2009.09.08] OneNewsNow: Court rules in favor of 'endangering' minors
Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) represented Concerned Women for America, the Christian Medical & Dental Associations, and Christian Pharmacists Fellowship International in the case. Steve Aden is an ADF attorney.
"The judge said that the plaintiffs didn't have the legal right to bring a lawsuit to challenge the over-the-counter switch for Plan B, even though they were comprised of doctors' groups, pharmacists, and parents whose interests were directly tied to the availability of Plan B over the counter," he explains.
The lawsuit was filed because Aden's clients believed that a female's life and health are worth more than Planned Parenthood's bottom line or the political agenda of pro-abortion groups.
"And that a drug that can be dangerous if not used properly, or if indications of labeling are disregarded, as they could very well be by minors who are not mature in judgment, could be dangerous to the young woman," he notes. "But all this didn't matter to the court."

[2009.09.22] LifeNews.com: Arizona Pro-Life Groups, Legislators Seek to Protect Comprehensive Abortion Law
“Everyone deserves full and accurate information before undergoing any medical procedure," ADF senior legal counsel Steven Aden told LifeNews.com.
“These lawsuits are more about protecting ‘bottom lines’ than protecting women’s rights," he said. "If Planned Parenthood and the Center for Reproductive Rights really cared about women’s rights, they'd support laws that allow women to make fully informed choices instead of challenging these laws in court."
Aden says he expects to do well in court when challenging the lawsuit.
"These types of protections have been repeatedly upheld and are overwhelmingly supported by the public," he said.
Aden complained that Planned Parenthood is challenging a law approved by the same state government that it receives tax-funding from each year.
