Abortion advocates are asking a North Carolina court to overturn abortion regulations in the state but an attorney fighting the groups says The Tar Heel State is protecting women, not just regulating abortion.
The ACLU, the ACLU of North Carolina, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, and the Center for Reproductive Rights are representing abortion providers and activists in the state who oppose state laws that, for example, prohibit telemedicine abortions; require a 72-hour informed-consent period; and regulate abortion clinic safety codes.
Attorneys for Alliance Defending Freedom have filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit on behalf of the state’s Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate.

That experience and others inspired a lifelong devotion to the betterment of others, including as a nationally recognized advocate for women s rights, her family said.
A Detroit native who moved to Charlotte in 2003, Dinwiddie helped get women elected to office. She led campaigns to end domestic violence. And she headed the Planned Parenthood movement in the Carolinas, advocating for quality reproductive health care for women, a 2016 Charlotte Observer article recounted.
