Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union have filed a lawsuit challenging an Alabama law they say could shut down most of the state’s abortion clinics. The measure would force doctors at the five clinics to obtain admitting privileges at a local hospital, a step the lawsuit notes can be impossible in part because some hospitals oppose abortion. The law is set to take effect next month.
