AZ Planned Parenthood Facilities Eliminating Some Abortion Services After Losing Lawsuit

Tucson Citizen: Planned Parenthood to end abortions at 7 Arizona sites, by Ginger Rough:

Planned Parenthood announced Thursday that it will stop offering abortion services at seven of its locations across the state.

The move means there will no longer be abortion services in communities outside of metro Phoenix and Tucson. The announcement comes on the heels of an appellate court ruling that upheld a 2009 law placing new restrictions on the procedure — including the requirement that nurse practitioners no longer perform surgical abortions. . . .
