The Arizona Court of Appeals today found two 2009 to be constitutional and scratched a lower court's order banning them from taking effect. The laws, passed as HB2564 and SB1175, require notarized parental consent for a minor to get an abortion, require doctors to meet patients in person 24 hours before an abortion to provide information on the procedure, allows health care workers and doctors to choose not to participate in abortions if it contradicts their religious or moral beliefs, and allows only physicians to perform abortions.
Anna Spitzinger of Falmouth took her daughter to the microphone when she testified Tuesday before the Judiciary Committee in support of three bills that would change Maine's abortion laws. Spitzinger, 24, said that when she went to an abortion provider to explore her options, she was disappointed with how she was treated. "It quickly became clear there was to be no discussion at all, let alone about options," she said.
The anti-abortion movement scored an array of legislative victories in Ohio in 2011, but even after a record year, abortion foes are advocating for tighter restrictions in 2012. Legislative accomplishments last year for abortion opponents included a state ban on late-term abortions, stronger parental consent laws for minors seeking abortions and a prohibition on state insurance exchanges from covering most abortions.
INDIANAPOLIS ? Medicaid patients could no longer receive health care at Planned Parenthood's Evansville clinic under a measure approved by the state Senate on Tuesday. Despite the opposition of dozens of protesters, House Bill 1210 passed on a 35-13 vote.

Significant strides in Arizona's pro-life movement were almost non-existent for decades, but that changed on April 17, 1998. That's the day 33-year-old LouAnne Herron bled to death after Dr. John Biskind tore her uterus during a late-term abortion at the A-Z Women's Clinic in Phoenix.
When lawmakers take aim at abortion, they draw on an ever- growing arsenal of restrictions and mandates imposed on women, doctors and clinics. But do these measures reduce abortions? It's a question with no simple answer.
A Maricopa County Superior Court judge has granted a preliminary injunction against new state laws that place restrictions on abortion. Although the decision has been embraced by state Democrats, the Republican co-sponsor of both bills said it's another case of courts infringing on the territory of the Legislature. Sen. Jack Harper, a Republican from Surprise, said it surprised him that the state court "waded into a political issue.
The conservative Republican base in Augusta is providing new traction for old efforts to curtail access in Maine to abortion, sex education and birth control. Bills pending before the Legislature would tighten up parental notification requirements, impose a 24-hour waiting period and require the reading of a detailed description of the developing fetus to any woman or teenager seeking to terminate a pregnancy.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a report Monday confirming Obama administration meddling in the drafting of controversial provisions of Kenya's constitution, which were ratified last year. Officials funneled $18 million in taxpayer cash to a number of groups, at least one of which openly worked to reverse the African country's ban on killing the unborn. U.S. law prohibits lobbying for or against abortion with foreign aid money.
