CHARLESTON, W.Va. — West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey said a lawsuit from the Women’s Health Center of West Virginia on the state’s abortion law has been dropped.
The Women’s Health Center filed the lawsuit against the president and secretary of the state’s Board of Medicine. Morrisey stepped in to defend the law on behalf of the state when the lawsuit was brought forth back on February 1.
“As your first pro-life Attorney General, I stand firm in the belief that it is our duty to protect innocent life—we need to save as many innocent babies’ lives as legally possible,” Morrisey said. “I am proud to stand for the most vulnerable of our society and the sanctity of life.”
The clinic filed a notice of voluntary dismissal at the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia Monday.
