ACLU spokesman Ed Yohnka says the group will argue for the order Wednesday afternoon in Cook County court. The request comes after a vote by Illinois' Medical Disciplinary Board that clears the path for the state to start enforcing the law.
The board decided not to extend the grace period the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation put in place. A spokeswoman says that means the law goes into effect immediately.
The law requires physicians to notify the parents or guardians of girls 17 or younger before the teens get abortions.
