title: Planned Parenthood Association v. City of Cincinnati, 1 July 1987.
abstract: The plaintiffs sought a preliminary injunction against enforcement of a city statute stipulating that "Every hospital and clinic in which abortions are performed . . . shall provide that the fetuses be interred, deposited in a vault or tomb, cremated, or otherwise disposed of in a manner approved by the Health Commissioner."  On appeal of a decision granting the injunction, the Court first ruled that the plaintiffs, the operator and medical director of an abortion clinic, had standing. It also held that the injunction was properly granted since the plaintiffs had established a likelihood of prevailing on the merits of their claim due to the fact that part of the ordinance beginning "otherwise disposed of" was unconstitutionally vague.
