ACLU
Case: Guam Society of OBGYNs v. Guerrero
April 28, 2025
HAGÅTÑA, Guam — The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an order today dismissing a request from Guam Attorney General Douglas Moylan to continue his case seeking to lift a permanent injunction against a 1990 total abortion ban. The Ninth Circuit held the case was now moot in light of a decision by the Guam Supreme Court that the ban has been legislatively repealed. The ban had previously been permanently blocked in a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and Anita Arriola shortly after it was passed 30 years ago.
Attorney General Moylan’s separate request that the U.S. Supreme Court review the Guam Supreme Court decision that the ban had since been repealed was denied in October.
