Federal appeals court declines to rehear case challenging Arkansas abortion restrictions - JURIST - News

December 17, 2020 03:31:38 pm The US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit declined Tuesday to reconsider its August decision that blocked four Arkansas abortion restrictions from taking effect. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Center for Reproductive Rights challenged the measures on behalf of Dr. Frederick Hopkins, a Little Rock abortion provider. The measures, which could go into effect as soon as December 22, seek to ban abortions after 14 weeks of pregnancy, eliminate patient confidentiality by requiring patients’ partners and family members to be notified of the abortion, require health care workers to report teenage patient abortions to local police, and force physicians to request medical records with no medical justification.
