Analysis by The Guardian (6/4/15): Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, [and others] are challenging SB1318, which requires doctors to tell women having a drug-induced abortion that the procedure is reversible, advice regarded by most medical experts as wrong and misleading. The lawsuit argues that compelling doctors to provide this information against their best medical judgement, with "extreme consequences" for non-compliance, is a violation of their first amendment rights.
Legislative Outcome: Passed House 33-24-3 on Mar/23/15; Passed Senate 18-11-1 on Mar/25/15; State Rep. Olson co-sponsored and voted YES; Signed by Gov. Ducey on Mar/30/15. A federal district court overturned SB1316 on July 23, 2016.
