Republican AGs sue abortion ‘shield law’ states in US Supreme Court
Three Republican-led states—Alabama, Arkansas, and Louisiana, have filed a case with the U.S. Supreme Court challenging abortion "shield laws" in three Democratic-led states: California, Massachusetts, and New York. These shield laws protect doctors and other providers who prescribe abortion pills to patients in other states where abortion is restricted. The case now awaits the Supreme Court's consideration.
