FONTANA, Calif. (AP) — The war over abortion is raging in statehouses around the country, but in California, a bastion of reproductive rights, the fight has shifted to local battlegrounds.

In the Inland Empire region, Planned Parenthood is suing the city of Fontana, alleging its officials are illegally blocking its plans for a new clinic.

The health organization’s leaders said Fontana is rejecting the clinic for religious and political reasons while hiding those intentions behind zoning restrictions. Planned Parenthood accused the mayor and city council of trying an end around of California’s abortion rights laws in an effort to appease local abortion opponents.

“Despite having pro-reproductive rights champions in the Legislature and state offices, what we’re experiencing in Fontana is part of a trend, where conservative local officials are trying to restrict access to abortion and reproductive care, even in states like California,” said Sadaf Rahmani, spokesperson for Planned Parenthood of Orange & San Bernardino Counties.
