Case Summary

Maine law prohibited anyone other than a licensed physician from providing abortion services. Represented by the ACLU and Planned Parenthood, five advanced practice registered nurses (“APRNs”) and two non-profit organizations, including Planned Parenthood, (“the plaintiffs”) brought this suit in the U.S District Court for the District of Maine on September 20, 2017, alleging that this restriction on who can perform abortions violated the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Maine law prohibited anyone other than a licensed physician from providing abortion services. Represented by the ACLU and Planned Parenthood, five advanced practice registered nurses (“APRNs”) and two non-profit organizations, including Planned Parenthood, (“the plaintiffs”) brought this suit in the U.S District Court for the District of Maine on September 20, 2017, alleging that this restriction on who can perform abortions violated the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The plaintiffs, suing on behalf of themselves and their patients, specifically argued that the district attorneys of all sixteen Maine counties and the Maine attorney general (“the defendants”) treated APRNs who sought to provide abortion services differently from other APRNs and treated patients seeking medication and aspiration abortion services differently than patients seeking other comparable health services. As such, the plaintiffs requested that the court declare the Maine statute unconstitutional and enjoin the defendants from enforcing those provisions.

While the parties litigated in this case for close to two years, Maine passed a law on June 10, 2019, that authorized certain healthcare professionals to perform abortions. The parties jointly stipulated to a dismissal of this action and the case closed on June 12, 2019.
