The landscape for abortion access has been transformed over the last few years, to say the least. In December, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against a New York doctor for prescribing abortion pills to a woman in Texas, potentially setting up a legal showdown between anti-abortion states and those with shield laws that protect abortion providers.
