WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Two abortion rights groups and the American Civil Liberties Union have filed lawsuits to try to block the recently passed ban on a late-term abortion procedure from taking effect. The White House says President Bush intends to sign it on Wednesday.

Planned Parenthood Federation of America filed a lawsuit in a San Francisco federal court Friday to block the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act as unconstitutional. Doctors call the procedure intact dilation and extraction.

At a news conference Friday in San Francisco, the organization said the lawsuit "seeks an injunction against enforcement of the act and a declaration that it is unconstitutional."
