CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A North Carolina OB-GYN who successfully challenged the state’s 20-week abortion law is now suing the state over its abortion pills laws.
In a lawsuit filed Wednesday morning, Dr. Amy Bryant, a University of North Carolina Health doctor, said the state laws conflict with federal regulations.
Bryant brought a lawsuit in 2016 with several other OB-GYNs that challenged North Carolina’s 20-week abortion ban. A federal court deemed the ban unconstitutional in 2019, a ruling that was reversed when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
