Schimel v. Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin

Petition for certiorari denied on June 28, 2016
Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
15-1200 7th Cir. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2015

Issue: (1) Whether a regulation of abortion doctors is subject to a facial challenge under Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood of Northern New England and Gonzales v. Carhart, when a majority of abortion doctors have already satisfied the requirement, and where the only doctors not already in compliance failed to make diligent efforts; and (2) whether a challenge to a regulation of abortion doctors under the Due Process Clause falls within the “very limited and well-defined class of cases,” City of Columbia v. Omni Outdoor Advertising, Inc., in which inquiry into the legislature’s subjective motives is permissible.
