(Worthy News) – The American Civil Liberties Union and Planned Parenthood filed a federal lawsuit challenging an Alabama law that effectively outlaws all abortions, the two groups announced Friday.

The groups are asking the court to block the law from taking effect. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
