Planned Parenthood Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota v. Rounds

Challenge to 2005 South Dakota law that requires physicians to provide women with state-mandated statements including medically inaccurate information about the risk factors of abortion. In 2008, the entire federal Eight Circuit Court of Appeals upheld part of the law. In September 2011, a three-judge panel of the Eighth Circuit reversed a lower court and upheld the constitutionality of the rest of the law except for a provision requiring that women be told that abortion leads to an increased risk of suicide. Current Status: . In July 2012, the full Eighth Circuit reversed the three judge panel and allowed the suicide statement requirements to go into effect. (See the law here.
