Red states sue over abortion pill shield laws

A group of Republican-led states has filed a lawsuit targeting so-called shield laws, the state-level protections that allow doctors in states like New York and Massachusetts to prescribe abortion pills by telemedicine to patients in states where abortion is restricted. The suits test whether one state's laws can shield providers from enforcement actions by another, escalating the legal battle over medication abortion after the Dobbs decision.

Why now: The lawsuit is a new escalation in the legal conflict over medication abortion between states with opposing abortion laws.
