Question Presented (AI Summary)

Can abortion providers have third-party standing to challenge health and safety regulations?

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Can abortion providers be presumed to have third-party standing to challenge health and safety regulations on behalf of their patients absent a “close” relationship with their patients and a “hindrance” to their patients’ ability to sue on their own behalf? 2. Are objections to prudential standing waivable (per the Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, Ninth, Tenth, and Federal Circuits) or non-waivable (per the D.C., Second, and Sixth Circuits)?
