This year starts amid a wave of news about court cases and laws restricting abortion access. Here's what to know.
It was 2022 when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, but 2024 is starting amid a wave of news about court cases and laws restricting abortion access in the United States — and there's even more decisions on the horizon.
In recent days, the Supreme Court and a federal appeals court ruled abortion bans in Idaho and Texas mean hospitals do not have to perform abortions in medical emergencies, such as when someone giving birth experiences severe bleeding or preeclampsia.
Those laws are a part of an ongoing trend of some Republican-led states placing more restrictions on abortion-related health care, including bans on the procedure when the life of the pregnant parent could be at risk. Meanwhile, Democratic-led states have generally kept or strengthened abortion access.
