  • Title: State of New York v. Sullivan [1 November 1989].
    Author: United States. Court of Appeals, Second Circuit.
    Journal: Annu Rev Popul Law; 1989; 16():13. PubMed ID: 12344096.
    Abstract:
    The plaintiffs were a New York family planning organizations and physicians who challenged regulations issued by the US Department of Health and Human Services that prohibited grantees from counselling women about abortion and referring them to abortion services unless they did so in separate facilities with separate personnel not supported by federal funds. The Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit upheld the regulations. It ruled that they constituted a permissible construction of statutory language that prohibits the use of federal funds for the performance of abortions, that they did not violate a woman's privacy right to obtain an abortion, and that they did not violate the free speech rights of the grantees or women seeking abortions. On December 7, 1989 the Eastern District Court of Pennsylvania ruled that the regulations had not been validly issued, constituted an impermissible construction of statutory language, and violated the grantees' right to free speech (Planned Parenthood Federation of America v. Sullivan, 1989 U.S.Dist.Lexis 14737).
