Doctors who provide abortion, transgender care could get legal protections under Virginia bill

“Virginia moved closer Monday to shielding doctors from extradition if they provide reproductive or gender-affirming healthcare to out-of-state patients, advancing legislation that underscores the deepening divide over healthcare access and state sovereignty. The Senate narrowly passed Senate Bill 1098, sponsored by Ghazala Hashmi, D-Chesterfield, which would block the extradition of health care providers facing criminal charges in other states for performing medical services that are legal in Virginia. Every Republican opposed the measure….”

N.Y. moves to shield abortion medication prescriptions after Louisiana indicts doctor

Kathy Hochul on Monday signed a bill to shield the identities of doctors who prescribe abortion medications, days after a physician in the state was charged with prescribing abortion pills to a pregnant minor in Louisiana.  The new law, which took effect immediately, allows doctors to request for their names to be left off abortion pill bottles and instead list the name of their health-care practices on medication labels….”

How Project 2025 Seeks to Obliterate Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights

Project 2025 promotes a presidential agenda that rolls back civil and human rights and implements extremist conservative policies across every federal department and agency. Its sweeping far-right policy framework,1 by the conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation, includes numerous attacks on sexual and reproductive health and rights.  The plan’s far-reaching recommendations would severely limit reproductive autonomy and access to reproductive health care, while turning back the clock on hard-won gains, both domestically and globally. This fact sheet enumerates some of the agenda’s most serious threats to sexual and reproductive health and describes potential effects.

"A Louisiana grand jury on Friday indicted a New York doctor for allegedly prescribing abortion pills to a minor patient in the southern state, in what appears to be the first criminal case against an abortion provider since Roe v.

NH abortion ban: Bill to prohibit procedure after 15 weeks, introduced then withdrawn

"New Hampshire legislators introduced — and then immediately withdrew — a bill to ban abortions after 15 weeks in the Granite State Monday. The first public hearing on the bill, HB 476, was held on Monday morning in front of the House Judiciary committee. However, prime sponsor Rep.

Pentagon ends paying for travel for abortion and other reproductive care

"The Pentagon has rescinded a Biden administration policy that reimbursed service members and dependents for travel to states where abortion and other reproductive health procedures are legal. The Pentagon’s Defense Travel Management Office issued the memo on Wednesday, ending reimbursements immediately.  The move, which is already drawing criticism from women in Congress, reverses a 2023 policy enacted under then-Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin after the repeal of Roe v Wade. The policy provided paid leave and travel reimbursement for troops and their families who had to cross state lines because they were stationed in a state where abortion and other reproductive care, such as in vitro…
