abortion rights

A federal appeals court has struck down part of a Tennessee anti-abortion law. Meanwhile, two nonprofits made moves this week to avoid cooperating with requests from the state’s attorney general for documents involving mail-order abortion pills.

Both the Kentucky Attorney General's Office and attorneys representing three women challenging the state's abortion ban are asking a judge to revise his recent ruling, which in part voided Kentucky’s definition of human life because it’s too vague.

A judge ruled part of Kentucky's abortion ban defining human life as beginning at conception unconstitutional in a lawsuit brought by Jewish women.

After three years, a high-profile lawsuit challenging Tennessee’s near-total abortion ban has been canceled as the state's attorney general exercises a new appeals process.
