Federal Appellate Court to Hear Oral Arguments Tomorrow on Michigan's Partial-Birth Abortion Ban

ANN ARBOR, MI—On October 26, 2006, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in Cincinnati, Ohio will hear oral argument on the ACLU and Planned Parenthood legal challenge to the Michigan Legal Birth Definition Act, a state law that would ban the grisly partial-birth abortion. The arguments will take place in Room 636, Sixth Floor East Courtroom during the morning session which begins at 9 AM.

The Thomas More Law Center, a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor Michigan, is asking the appellate court to overturn the lower federal court ruling, which struck down the ban and denied its prime sponsor, Standing Together To Oppose Partial-birth-abortion (“STTOP”), to intervene in the lawsuit.
