“Maine law gives APCs...broad authority to provide ‘expanded professional health care.’ The complexity of many of these health care services is equal to or greater than that or in-office or medication abortion.” -

"By posing onerous burdens that outweigh the existing law's nonexistent health justification, the APC ban violates the constitutional right to privacy as well as the right to equal protection under the law." -
