Red states sue over abortion pill shield laws

Several Republican-led states have filed a lawsuit challenging shield laws that protect doctors who prescribe abortion pills by mail to patients in states where abortion is banned. The shield laws allow providers in states like New York and Massachusetts to prescribe medication abortion remotely. The suit escalates the legal fight over abortion access following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, with arguments centering on state authority and interstate commerce.

Why now: Medication abortion now accounts for the majority of US abortions, making interstate shield laws a major flashpoint between states.
