One of the laws being targeted prohibits the use of telehealth for patients seeking abortions.
The suit challenges a requirement that a patient seeking to terminate their pregnancy must give in-person consent 24 hours before a procedure can take place.
The Center for Reproductive Rights and the American Civil Liberties Union filed the suit in Maricopa County Superior Court on behalf of two doctors and their staff.
The group also seeks to nullify a law that prohibits abortion for genetic defects.
The attorneys cite the voter approved law passed in November that enshrines the right to an abortion up to the point of fetal viability.
A judge blocked the state’s 15-week abortion ban earlier this year.
